• NAME: The NAME has no effect on the protocol. However, you can give the setup a name here.
  
  
• PROTOCOL: Select the SupraGauge protocol.
  
  
• BENDER NUMBER: Set the bender to an integer number that identifies it. This is very important if you have multiple benders that share the same network location for transfer of data files.
  
  
• CHECKBOX OPTIONS: Select any of the checkbox options that you want to enable.
  
  
  • LOG: To log activity as it occurs
    
    
  • METRIC: To make all linear data communicate in Millimeters rather than the default Inches
    
    
  • PRESET CLR: To ignore any incoming Centerline Radius data.
    
    
• NETWORK PATH: Set the Network Path to a location on the network that allows read/write access. This is the path where all machines and measuring centers will drop and pickup command files using the Supravision Network protocol.
