REMOTE OPERATION
This section provides information needed when using external digital and serial I/O for
remote operation. It assumes that the electrical connections have been made as described
in Section 3.3.1.
The T200 can be remotely configured, calibrated or queried for stored data through the
serial ports, via either
Computer mode (using a personal computer) or Interactive
mode (using a terminal emulation program).
8.1. COMPUTER MODE
Computer Mode is used when the analyzer is connected to a computer with a dedicated
interface program such as APICOM.
8.1.1. REMOTE CONTROL VIA APICOM
APICOM is an easy-to-use, yet powerful interface program that allows the user to access
and control any of Teledyne API's‟ main line of ambient and stack-gas instruments from
a remote connection through direct cable, modem or Ethernet. Running APICOM, a
user can:

Establish a link from a remote location to the T200 through direct cable connection
via RS-232 modem or Ethernet.

View the instrument’s front panel and remotely access all functions that could be
accessed manually on the instrument.

Remotely edit system parameters and set points.

Download, view, graph and save data for predictive diagnostics or data analysis.

Retrieve, view, edit, save and upload DAS configurations (Section 7.2.1).

Check on system parameters for troubleshooting and quality control.
APICOM is very helpful for initial setup, data analysis, maintenance and
troubleshooting. Refer to the APICOM manual available for download from
