5. M700 CALIBRATOR SEQUENCES
APIcom includes support for modifying the sequence configuration in M700 calibrators. APIcom can only
modify the sequence configuration in M700 calibrators with firmware revision D.3 or higher. However,
calibrators with firmware prior to D.3 can still be edited through the front panel. The user interface for
sequence configuration is very similar to that for configuring the iDAS. If APIcom detects that the
instrument is an M700 calibrator, the front-panel iDAS configuration button,
, is changed to . The M700 does not contain
a iDAS and stores sequences in a different memory space than the iDAS is usually saved. The current
sequence configuration can be downloaded, saved, modified, and sent it back to the instrument.
Sending a sequence configuration to the instrument will completely replace its existing configuration. A
sequence configuration can also be changed by using the instrument’s own menus through the Front
Panel Window (see Figure 1-1).
