6. ADVANCED FEATURES
6.1. Instrument Information Dialog
Whenever APIcom connects to an instrument it interrogates the instrument to determine the type of
instrument and its capabilities. Since APIcom supports all standard API instruments (except industrial
ozone), there are many options to be supported on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
If APIcom doesn’t seem to support a particular capability that the instrument has, APIcom’s instrument
information dialog should show the capabilities APIcom thinks the instrument has. This is mainly a
diagnostic tool, but offers information similar to that found under the instrument’s own SETUP-CFG
menu.
To view the instrument information dialog, connect to an instrument and click on the system menu in the
upper left-hand corner of the Front Panel Window. Then click on the Instrument information… menu
item. This should bring up a dialog like the following. The fields shown in the dialog are described in
Table 6-1.
