7.2.2. DAS CONFIGURATION VIA TERMINAL EMULATION PROGRAMS
Although Teledyne API recommends the use of APICOM, the DAS can also be
accessed and configured through a terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal
(see Figure 7-4 for example). It is best to start by downloading the default DAS
configuration, getting familiar with its command structure and syntax conventions, and
then altering a copy of the original file offline before uploading the new configuration.

See Section 8.2.1 for configuration commands and their strict syntax. Commands can be
pasted in from of an existing text file, which was first edited offline and then uploaded
through a specific transfer procedure.

Whereas the editing, adding and deleting of DAS channels and parameters of
one channel through the front-panel control buttons can be done without
affecting the other channels, uploading a DAS configuration script to the
analyzer through its communication ports will erase all data, parameters and
channels by replacing them with the new DAS configuration. Backup of data
and the original DAS configuration is advised before attempting any DAS
changes.
