This section provides information needed when using external digital and serial I/O for
remote operation. It assumes that the electrical connections have been made as described
in Section3.3.1.
The T300 can be remotely configured, calibrated or queried for stored data through the
rear panel serial ports, via either
Computer mode
(using a personal computer) or
Interactive mode
(using a terminal emulation program).

REMOTE CONTROL VIA APICOM
APICOM is an easy-to-use, yet powerful interface program that allows a user to access
and control any of Teledyne API’s main line of ambient and stack-gas instruments from
a remote connection through direct cable, modem or Ethernet. Running APICOM, a user
can:
•
Establish a link from a remote location to the T300 through direct cable
connection via RS-232 modem or Ethernet.
•
View the instrument’s front panel and remotely access all functions that could be
accessed manually on the instrument.
•
Remotely edit system parameters and set points.
•
Download, view, graph and save data for predictive diagnostics or data analysis.
•
Retrieve, view, edit, save and upload DAS configurations (Section 7.2.1).
•
Check on system parameters for trouble-shooting and quality control.
APICOM is very helpful for initial setup, data analysis, maintenance and
troubleshooting. Refer to the APICOM manual available for download from
http://www.teledyne-api.com/software/apicom/.
