3.2.1 Connection to PC
To connect ALIEM to PC:
1. Insert the ELA105 serial cable to the ALIEM
Com1(2) and to the RS-232 serial port of your
PC. If the PC does not have a RS-232 serial port,
use the USB/RS-232 adapter provided. In this
case, allow the installation of the device driver.
2. Connect the 12 Vdc power supply to the
terminal (64-, 65+) in the terminal block (6).
3. Turn on ALIEM with the On/Off switch (1).
In order to be configured, ALIEM must be inserted in 3DOM as a new Instrument.
