In order to communicate, the ARA needs to be in front of the IR Link.
When the ARA is in position, click 'Read Device'.
The settings will be retrieved from the device and displayed within the software.
NOTE:
If the communication fails, the following message will be displayed "ARA Connect ERROR".
Simply adjust and reposition the ARA in relation to the IR Link. If you have tried this a few times and haven't
had any success, please contact ION Science.
Once the instrument is connected and has successfully been read, the settings can be changed. Click on Write
Device to save the settings to the ARA.
