Controller / User Interface | 4-5
The software will start and the Devices & Log window will appear
in the AMETEK Configurator window (Figures 4-4 and 4-5). Double-
click Dev1 on the Devices & Log window to view the 93XS Properties
dialog box (General tab, Figure 4-1).
The 93XS Properties dialog box will be your main interface when
working on the analyzer or viewing live data.
By default, Live Data and Device Enabled are enabled. When Live
Data is enabled, the software automatically attempts to establish com-
munication with the analyzer. If the communication attempt fails, the
communication settings may be incorrect and/or the serial cable may
not be connected properly (or it may be damaged), or you may be
attempting to communicate with the wrong model of analyzer. See
“Configurator Software Troubleshooting” in this chapter for informa-
tion about how to resolve communication problems.
3. Confirm or configure communication settings by clicking Setup to
view the Communication Settings dialog box. Enter or select the ap-
propriate communication parameters required to establish communi-
cation with the analyzer, either Modbus Serial or Modbus TCP (see
“Modbus Serial / Modbus TCP Communication Setup” in this chapter.)
Also, confirm the instructions for setting up the Host Controller board
for service/customer digital communication by reviewing the section
“Digital Communication” in this chapter.
After configuring analyzer communication parameters, click OK to
initiate communication with the analyzer. The software will revert to
the 93XS Properties dialog box (General tab) and the analyzer will be
Online, as indicated in the Status message box.
The 93XS Properties dialog box is your primary interface with the
analyzer when viewing live data, or when modifying or viewing the
analyzer’s configuration or calibration parameters.
If at any time you close the 93XS Properties dialog box (by clicking
OK or Cancel), the software will revert to the AMETEK Configura-
tor window. To return to the 93XS Properties dialog box, double-
click Dev1 on the Devices & Log window.
