Need help connecting a SPECTRO ARCOS ICP-OES to a PC

Hello everyone,

I recently purchased a used SPECTRO ARCOS ICP-OES, but unfortunately it didn't come with much documentation.

I'm trying to get the instrument connected to a computer, but I have a few questions:

• What is the default IP address of the instrument?
• Does the ARCOS use a fixed IP or DHCP?
• Is there a way to discover or reset the IP address?
• Does the software require a USB hardware dongle (license key) to communicate with the instrument?
• Besides the software, are there any drivers or configuration steps required before the PC can recognize the instrument?
• Can I connect directly with an Ethernet cable, or is a network switch/router required?

If anyone has experience with the ARCOS platform, I would really appreciate any advice, documentation, or setup guide.

Thank you very much!
