The Information Tab will open.  It contains read only fields that will display relevant information on 
the interfaced instrument 

 

Press the 

button to interrogate the instrument to upload all the current settings. 

You can follow the interrogation and replies from the instrument in the Terminal Window across the 
bottom of the screen.  If the terminal window is not visible, click on the down arrow to show it: 

 

You may have to click and drag the window to show all data fields and the terminal window 

The Terminal window can also be used to send specific # commands to the instrument should that 
be necessary.  Type into the bottom line in the window and press 

ENTER
