7.2.2. DAS CONFIGURATION VIA TERMINAL EMULATION PROGRAMS
Although TAI recommends the use of APICOM, the DAS can also be accessed and configured through a
terminal emulation program such as HyperTerminal (see Figure 7-4 for example). It is best to start by
downloading the default DAS configuration, getting familiar with its command structure and syntax
conventions, and then altering a copy of the original file offline before uploading the new configuration.

See Section 8.2.1 for configuration commands and their strict syntax. Commands can be pasted in from
of an existing text file, which was first edited offline and then uploaded through a specific transfer
procedure.

Whereas the editing, adding and deleting of DAS channels and
parameters of one channel through the front-panel control buttons can
be done without affecting the other channels, uploading a DAS
configuration script to the analyzer through its communication ports will
erase all data, parameters and channels by replacing them with the new
DAS configuration. Backup of data and the original DAS configuration is
advised before attempting any DAS changes.
