FUNCTIONS AVAILABLE
The functions available over the modem link are all of those currently available in the Firetron 1000
monitor software: Adjustment of sensor calibration parameters, changes to text headers, installation
of sensors, and recalculation of EEPROM checksum. In addition, the instrument settings and param-
eters can be downloaded and saved to disk.
There is currently no facility for uploading instrument readings, or for directly controlling the instru-
ment. However, modem control will be added to the existing data CAPTURE program in the near
future.
