Capturing HC Functions

The two modes you can use to capture HC functions are default and special function. You use
default mode, which is automatically set when you connect power to the IRIS unit, to capture the
majority of HC functions. The table below shows the IRIS unit settings for default mode. Before
capturing HC functions, make sure the baud rate in the IRIS unit is set properly, and connected to a
PC running the IRLIB Library Management Program. Refer to the IRLIB Library Management
Program instruction manual to store captured HC functions.
