 =Communications Setup at the EL Premier Control=
-Communications between VTube-LASER and the Premier is very easy to do because it's robust and also very intuitive.
+The most common interface is to Eaton Leonard Premier controls. So we will show the setup for that bender here.

-VTube-LASER uses the legacy Eaton Leonard Current Loop protocol to communicate with Premier controls.  The protocol requires that an RS-232 signal be converted to Current Loop, then sent to the bender.<br><br>
+VTube-LASER understands and can use the legacy Eaton Leonard communications protocol to communicate with Premier, EL-2000, and Velog controls. VTube-LASER transfers ALL the data available in these controls. This allows you to setup and store completely Eaton Leonard setups inside VTube-LASER.<br><br>
