3.2 Communication with APS Power Source
This software can set and control the APS power source connected via USB, by communicating with it.
To distinguish from the state in which the computer and APS power source are just connected
physically using a USB cable, "communication online state" is used to describe that the
communication is established between the software and a APS power source. The state in which the
communication is not established between them is called "communication offline state".
Start in the communication offline state
When the software is started, it attempts to communicate with the APS power source. If the
communication cannot be established, it starts in the communication offline state. In this case, a dialog
opens as shown in Figure 3-3.
In the communication offline state, the APS power source cannot be controlled from the computer. The
setting data and sequence data can still be created and saved to file. However, even when the software is
used in the communication offline state, the system setting should be adjusted in advance for the APS
power source to which this is to be connected ( 3.6).
