You should see the tool configuration printed out in the text field on the right. # Connect to the tool * Press “Connect To Tool” button to send an S1F13 to the tool. * If the communications was successful you will see a response from the tool. # Go online-remote with the tool * Be sure the tool is ready to go online with this host and is allowing remote communications. * Press “Request ONLINE” button to send an S1F17 to the tool. * If the online request was successful you will see an S1F18 response with a reply other than “1” (which means it cannot go online). # Once the tool is ONLINE-REMOTE you can get a list of SVIDs and request the current value of any of them.
