The F6000 Instrument is controlled via the F6000 Control Panel installed
with ProTesT 1.70 software. ProTesT 1.70 or later requires the following
hardware and software:
• Personal computer with a Pentium class processor
• Windows 95/98/NT 4.0 operating systems
• ProTesT 1.70 or later installed on the hard drive of the computer
(for installation instructions, see the ProTesT User Guide)
• RS-232 serial cable or Ethernet BNC cable with a 10 MB network
card
• At least 32 MB RAM (Random Access Memory)
• A color monitor with 640x480 VGA resolution minimum
(800x600 VGA 256 color is recommended)
To complete the initial setup process (with power OFF to the control PC
and to the F6150):
5. Connect one end of the RS-232 cable to the serial port on the
computer, or connect the Ethernet BNC cable to the network card on
the computer.
6. Connect the other end of the RS-232 cable to the serial port on the
instrument front panel. Alternately, connect the Ethernet BNC cable
to the network connection on the instrument front panel. Both
connections are on the right-hand side of the front panel.
7. Turn the computer on.
