8.1 Instrument Network Address
In order for the utility software to communicate with the instrument there must be a
network connection. Connect the Terrameter LS to the same network as the computer.
Check the network address of the Terrameter LS on the “Instrument/Network” View
(the numbers that follow after “eth0:” is the network address), and enter it as
“Terrameter LS Network Address”. As a convenience the Utility Software will
remember the latest used network addresses. These can be accessed from a drop-down
list.
When using the utility software to communicate with the instrument there are a couple
of error situations that can occur:
- The given “Terrameter LS Network Address” is not a valid IP-address which
results in an error message similar to this being displayed
