should always make sure that a window appears notifying you that the
target module has confirmed the changes.
An asterisk sign “*” before the modules address indicates that the
module is in the INIT* state
Configuration
Click on the searched module which you would like to configure. Then,
you will find a Setup page and related settings. An example is shown in
Figure A-2 for an ADAM-4117 module.
Figure A-2 Configuration Screen
There are three major areas on the status field, General Setting,
calibration Area and Channels setting. You may change the settings by
selecting the preferred items. Then click on the Update button.
The Checksum and Baud rate options need special attention since they
can only be changed when an ADAM module is in the initial state.
After you have made all the necessary changes to the module
configuration, the utility will display the processed data automatically.
