5 Interfaces
The «IC Net» program supports remote control for interfaces
available from Metrohm and Bischoff. Interfaces generally convert
analog signals to digital form, which can be handled by the com-
puter. Interfaces are stored as device files (
*.dev ) in the Devices di-
rectory. All Metrohm interfaces and Metrohm devices start
with
Me*.dev ; all Bischoff interfaces and Bischoff devices start
with Bi*.dev .

opened. The New system wizard guides you trough the installation
routine step-by-step to build a new system. The next step of the

<Next>, the previous step with
<Back> and the installation is completed with <Finish> .
The first step of the system installation is to enter a name for a
new system folder within the «IC Net» program path

should be created.
After clicking on <Next> , the window for addition of interfaces to
the toolbar appears. The interface has to be selected from the

<Add to workplace> , the interface icon will appear on the toolbar
(PC Boards will not appear on toolbar).
