This command is used to temporarily exit to DOS. You may then

the Analyst488 program, type 'exit' at the DOS prompt. No data is lost
in the Analyst488 program while in the shell.
5.7.12 Setup
The Setup command allows the user to setup miscellaneous
program options. A dialog box will appear allowing you to setup one of
the following: serial port configuration, program options (type of monitor,
printer form length). If Serial Port is selected, a dialog box will prompt
for the Com port, baud rate, number of stop bits, number of data bits, and
parity.
Using the cursor keys, select the serial port communication settings
to match the settings of the Analyzer488. The Serial port configuration of
the Analyzer488 may be changed by using the power-on configuration
procedure. To do this, press and hold the [SETUP] key on the front panel
of the Analyzer488 and turn the unit on. Refer to section 2 of this manual
for further information.
If factory default setup is selected the serial port of the PC will be
set to the factory default configuration which is: COM1, 9600 Baud, 8
data bits, 2 stop bits, no parity. If the Analyzer488 is also set to its factory
default, communication with the Analyzer488 may be established.
If program options is selected, a window will appear. Using this
window, you can select the type of monitor and printer form length for
your system.
