Preparing for Operation 2

Testing and Troubleshooting

2.Select Setup Communications Config.

3.Click Add to open the Instruments on Network dialog box to add a NetDAQ instrument to NetDAQ Logger’s list of instruments. Select the instrument model number and enter the instrument BCN. On a general network, you must enter the instrument IP address which you previously recorded inside the back cover of this manual. When you finish, click OK. Repeat this step for each instrument you are adding.

4.For a general network installation, click the Socket Port button in the Communications Configuration File dialog box. In the Socket Port dialog box, modify the socket port number if you cannot use the default of 4369 at your installation (see your network administrator if you do not know).

5.Select an instrument from the Instruments on Network list. Click Verify. When the message "Connection Successful!" appears, repeat for the next instrument. Continue until you verify all connections. If any error messages appear, see Troubleshooting Network Problems in the next section.

6.Close the Communications Configuration File dialog box and return to the Main Window.

7.If you installed Trend Link, select Plot/Trend Show Trend Link. Observe after a few seconds that the Trend Link application appears. In Trend Link, select File Exit.

8.Refer to Chapter 4 Operating NetDAQ Logger for Windows to place the instrument into operation, or close the application by selecting Setup Exit Application.
