6.1 How to Start An Online Configuration Directly
LoopMaster accepts one command line argument. For LoopMaster to start with an online configuration,
the command line argument is a forward slash (/), followed by the desired COM port, a comma, then the
instrument address. For example, to connect to instrument zero on COM2, the command line argument
would be:
/COM2,0
To setup LoopMaster to start with an online configuration:
1. From Windows Explorer, single click on the LoopMaster icon.
2. Select the Properties... menu item and the LoopMaster Properties dialog pops up. The
example below specifies COM2 and instrument address zero. Change the entry as shown in
fig.
3. Click OK.
Now when you double-click on the LoopMaster icon, LoopMaster will display the opening information dia-
log. LoopMaster will then bypass the rest of the dialogs and try to connect to instrument zero using the
COM2 port.
6.2 How To Start An Offline Configuration Directly
To start a previously existing offline configuration directly, just double click on the file (filename.S6D) in
