Connecting the Computer to the Gas Analyzer (MGA or PGA)

In order to be able to communicate with your analyzer, the computer where the XGA software is installed must be connected to it via Ethernet with compatible TCP/IP settings.   There are two common configurations for accomplishing this: a USB connection, a direct connection with a crossover cable, and plugging both the analyzer and the computer into a LAN.   The crossover cable and LAN methods require compatible TCP/IP settings.

 

It is likely that some configuration to either the PC or the analyzer will be needed before a connection can be established.   If you are having troubles establishing a connection with a crossover cable or using a LAN after reading the instructions for your configuration, see the Troubleshooting Ethernet Connection Problems section of this manual.
