The primary function of the software is to create, download and store instrument
configurations and profiles. If the data recorder feature is fitted, its recordings can be
downloaded and analysed via the software.
There are several extra features that are only possible via the software.
Changes can be made to the operation of the instrument by adding extra screens into
operation mode, enabling and configuring a “Supervisor Mode”, as well as changing the
contact details, alarm status labels or the functions and labels of the front LED’s.
You can download a new language file or customise the controller by changing the start-up
“splash screen”.
An on-screen simulation of the instrument can be setup and tested on a configurable load
simulation prior to downloading the settings to an instrument.
An additional software tool is available to set the IP address required for the Modbus TCP
communications option - refer to the Network Configuration section on page 238.
