The Remote interface enables you to
configure the Remote control mode
and the device connected to the
sensor. In most of the cases the
sensor will be controlled via the
TR500 connected to the Terminal
port. Alternatively a remote computer
can be used to steer the sensor.
If the Remote mode is set to Terminal
and a command is sent to the sensor
via any serial port the sensor auto-
matically turns on and switches to
remote mode.
If the sensor is to be remotely con-
trolled, highlight the Remote interface
and select the Port. Press DEVCE
(F5) to select the appropraite device
from the list. Normally this will be
RS232.

Sensor Transfer with SKI-Pro
Using the Remote interface it is
possible to download data directly
from the memory device of the sensor
into SKI-Pro through the serial port of
the PC without having to remove the
TR500 from the Terminal port.
Configure the Remote interface to the
appropriate port and device as
described above. This would nor-
mally be Port 2 and RS232 device
using the standard System 500
download cable.
Connect the sensor to the PC. Data
can now be downloaded to the PC
using the Sensor Transfer component
in SKI-Pro in the normal manner.
