E-20 SIMEAS Q80 7KG8080
9.4.2 Interface 10BASE-T, Twisted Pair, full duplex
There are two distinct ways of connecting the measurement device with a PC.
· If you connect the measurement directly with your PC, you must use a crossed network cable (crossed UTP-
cable, category 5, RJ45-plug).
· If the measurement device is connected via a network hub or switch, or a patch field , us an uncrossed network
cable (uncrossed UTP-cable, category 5, RJ45-plug). Contemporary network hubs are able to electronically
switch over, so that it makes no difference whether you use a crossed or an uncrossed cable.
9.4.2.1 Ethernet protocol TCP/IP
This protocol requires you to proceed through a configuration phase before it is possible to access a device. This
chapter presents step-by-step instructions for preparing your PC and SIMEAS Q80 7KG8080 unit for such operation.
The necessary steps depend on the network environment in which your PC and measurement system are operated.
Therefore the steps described are only a selection intended as an example based on the most common network
configurations.
9.4.3 Installation of the SIMEAS Q80 Manager
Before it is possible to begin actual installation of the program, some general rules concerning installation of software
should be followed:
1. Backup copy of the software: iIt is advisable to make backup copies of the original data carriers.
2. If possible, close all applications not needed for running Windows!
3. If any older version is already installed, first uninstall it. Then restart the PC, since various components are only
completely uninstalled upon restarting the computer.
4. Note when updating from Version 1.x to Version 2.x: for trouble-free operation of the Autotransfer-mode, we
strongly recommend obtaining all previous data and clearing the device hard drive! This avoids unnecessary
data transfer and error messages due to missing information in older measurement data.
