5. Open the Protocol menu (the first of the drop-down menus) and
click on IDM.
6. Select any suitable available baud rate. A baud rate of 19,200 is

wish to consider lowering the baud rate on your instrument and in
PanaView.
IMPORTANT: Be sure all the communications port settings match
those made in setting up the meter's serial port.
