Main Menu.

NOTE

The probe is not available to the network when you are using the configuration
menus.

To view the probe Main Menu:

1. Connect a terminal or a personal computer (PC) emulating a terminal to the

probe RS-232 connector using a null modem cable. Refer to Appendix A,
“Cables and Connectors” on page 113 for more information on cables.

2. Configure the terminal for 8 bits/character, 1 stop bit, no parity, Xon/Xoff

handshaking, and a baud rate of 9600.

3. Connect the power cord to the probe and to a power source (either 100-120/

VAC or 220-240/VAC). The probe does not have a power switch, but is
turned on by connecting to a power source.
