5. Open the Protocol menu (the first of the drop-down menus) and
click on IDM.
6. Open the COM Port Type menu and click on the desired type (or
on TCP/IP, if the DF868 is using an Ethernet connection).
Note: If you select TCP/IP, the menu changes. Proceed to the next
page.
7. Select any suitable available baud rate. A baud rate of 19,200 is
appropriate for almost all applications. However, if you
experience periodic communication reliability problems, you may
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.
