16 PC SOFTWARE

The primary function of the software is to create, download and store instrument
configurations and profiles. Additionally, changes can be made to the operation of the
instrument; adding extra screens into Operation Mode, enabling and configuring Supervisor
Mode, changing the contact details or the function of the front LED’s. The software can also
be used to download a new language file or to change the start-up “splash screen”. An on-
screen simulation of the instrument can be setup and tested on a configurable load simulator.

A additional software tool is available to set the IP address required for the Modbus TCP
communications option - refer to the IP Address Configuration section.
