The API T3 is a unique instrument in that it can be run with either of 2 separate interfaces. To run the T3 with the API Device Interface follow the procedure outlined for the Radian. To take advantage of the legacy interface follow the directions outlined below for connection to the API T2+. The parameter file is stored on the controller for the
API T3 tracker. Like the API T2+, you will see a default location for a parameter file. In the case of the T3, this is only the location where a back-up copy of the parameter file will be written from the controller. To change this location, just press the Browse button in the tracker connection dialog.
The parameter file, [tkr serial#].prm contains the kinematic cor- rection info, home location, etc. for the tracker. For example, if your tracker serial number is 3827, the file name will be 3827.prm. This file must be located successfully by the tracker initialization for the tracker to run. By default the parameter file should be located in C:\ Analyzer Data\Persistence. To change this location, just press the Browse button in the tracker connection dialog.
The parameter file is edited when an API calibration is run. Ensure that the file attributes are NOT set to read only.
You must have a working serial port for the connection to the tracker. Use the lowest available serial port number for the tracker connection.
