Device Name:

Indicates the name under which the instrument is identified in the installation environment (also, see Naming Devices...). To control the instrument via the existing Control Panels, accept the default name (GC). If you do not accept the default name, you may have to edit the PGM Files and re-link the corresponding control of the control panel. (Also, refer to How to: Controlling Devices from the Control Panel  Linking a Control to a Device in the User Help section.)

Port:

Click the arrow and select the interface to which the GC is connected from the list. When you select an RS-232 interface, the Port Settings field is displayed. When you select Network, the Network Address field is displayed.

The field with the gray background indicates the communication settings for the GC. Click Test to test the connection to the instrument.

Latency, ms
