Connect the PC

For a brief connection of the PC, e.g. for parameter adjustment,
connection can be carried out via the VEGACONNECT 4 interface
converter. The necessary I²C interface on the front is available on all
instrument versions. On the computer side, connection is carried out
via the USB interface.

With the Ethernet interface, the instrument can be connected directly
to an existing PC network. Any standard patch cable can be used.
A cross-over cable must be used when connecting the instrument
directly to the PC. To reduce EMC interferences, the supplied split fer-
rite should be connected to the Ethernet cable. Each instrument can
then be accessed from anywhere in the network by an unique Host
name or its own IP address. The parameter adjustment of the instru-
ment via PACTware and DTM can be carried out from any PC. The
measured values can be made available to individual users within the
company network as HTML chart. As an alternative, the independent,
time or event-controlled transmission of measured values via e-mail
is also possible. The measured values can also be called up via a
visualisation software.
Note:
To respond the instrument, the IP address or the Host name must
be known. You can find this information under the menu item "Device
settings". If you are modifying these specifications, the instrument
must be restarted afterwards. Then the instruments can be reached
from everywhere in the network via its IP address or the Host name.
These specifications must be also entered in the DTM (see chapter
"Parameter adjustment with PACTware"). If the encrypted DTM remote
access is activated in the signal conditioning instrument, the instru-
ment key (PSK) must be entered during the first connection. This key
can be read out via the on-site adjustment in the info menu of the
signal conditioning instrument.
