Selecting Utilities>Options from the menu displays the Options
window. This window contains the default settings for Flowlink’s
operation. The tabs in the Options window contain settings for
the following:
• 4100/4200/6700, 2100, Field Wizard, and Pulse Doppler
• Default Units of Measurement
• Graph Defaults
• Miscellaneous
You establish default communication settings in the
Utilities>Options window. There are four tabs, “4100/4200/6700”,
“2100,” “Field Wizard,” and “Pulse Doppler” that hold these
defaults. Flowlink will use the settings on both tabs to assume
the type of instrument to which it is connecting, and which
method (direct, modem, wireless, or TCP) Flowlink is to use.
Connection type options include Direct, Modem, Wireless, and
TCP.
• Select the Direct option when connecting to Isco
instruments through an interrogator cable,
communications cable, or a short haul modem attached
to your computer’s serial port.
• Select the Modem option to connect to instruments
through a telephone modem.
• Select the Wireless option when using the 2102 Wireless
Communication Module.
• Select TCP for remote serial communication via static IP
or public domain address with a 2100 module equipped
with a CDMA modem, or a 6712 sampler equipped with a
CDMA or GSM modem.
Check this box on the instrument tab to direct Flowlink
to use the communication protocol that is compatible for
the device type to which you are primarily connecting.
For example, if you are primarily connecting to Isco’s
2100 devices, check the “Default to 2100” box on the 2100
tab.
• Select the default Com port from the pull-down menu.
Refer to your computer’s documentation for more
information on Com ports.
