Advanced Functions
7.4 Communication interfaces
7.4.1 USB interface
The cooled incubator is equipped by default with a USB interface. In accordance with USB
specification (see Fig. 5 on page 14 ). With this interface, it is possible to control and log the
appliance remotely from the computer. This is done with the help of the “Celsius“ software.
To do this, the cooled incubator must be given a unique device address in the SETUP sub-
menu, menu item ADDRESS, via which the computer communicates with the appliance (see
page 52 ). Using this, the respective cooled incubator can be selected and programmed from
the computer. The default setting is ADDRess 0.
If several appliances are to be connected to a computer via USB interface, an appropriate
interface on the computer and a separate cable are required for each. The maximum cable
length is 5 m.
7.4.2 Ethernet interface
The cooled incubator can optionally be equipped with an ethernet interface to connect it to
a network. For identification purposes, each cooled incubator connected must have its own
unique IP address. Each appliance is delivered by default with the IP address 192.168.100.100.
The programme "XTADMIN", which can be found on the “Celsius“ CD-ROM, can be used to
change the IP address.
How to set the IP address is described in the enclosed ”Celsius“ manual.
