The SOLA II Flare workstation software is an application developed to run

Lookout Development System
•
Floppy disk with a subdirectory named SOLA containing the following
•
files:
− fdcws.l4t
− fdcws.l4p
− fdcws.lks
− fdcws.lka
1. Copy the SOLA subdirectory from the CD to the c:\Program
Files\NationalInstruments\Lookout subdirectory on the computer hard
drive. Remove the disk from the drive and store in a safe place.
2. Click on fdcws.l4p to open the workstation through Lookout.
3. The workstation is configured to connect to the analyzer using the Com
port 1 at 9600 baud and to expect the analyzer Modbus address to be 1.
If the analyzer is equipped with the Serial to 10/100 Base-T Bridge or,
if a different com port is used in the PC, the Modbus 1 object needs to
be edited.
