Changing Communication Settings

3.

Under 

Platform Startup

, determine whether your module applications 

will be started locally or remotely by clicking the corresponding option.

If 

Local

 mode is selected, you will not be able to send remote 

commands to your unit.

If 

Remote

 mode is selected, all modules in your unit will be 

initialized upon startup so you are ready to send remote 
commands.

If you selected 

Local

 mode, you can go directly to step 6.

4.

Under 

Communication Type

,

 

select 

ActiveX

, 

RS-232

, or 

TCP/IP

.

For more information on the choice of a particular type, see the table 
on page 190.

Note:

If the selected communication type does not match the protocol that will 
actually be used, an error message is displayed when attempting to control 
the instruments.
