the Sites button on the right-hand side.
2. From the “Look in” box, select the directory where the new

3. On the Instrument Setup tab, select “ETC2002” in the
“Model” box.

“SATEC ASCII” for SATEC ASCII/TCP.
5. In the “Wait for answer” box, adjust the time that PAS should wait for a
connection before announcing an error and the number of re-tries that
PAS should use to receive a response from the device if
communications fail.
