Start the TC-36-25 RS232 software, and enter the following settings:
a) Check the DISPLAY FUNCTION ENABLE box.

menu key.
c) If you want to set maximum and minimum allowable temperature set points,
enter the corresponding values in the SET TEMP HIGH RANGE and SET
TEMP LOW RANGE boxes. Then click the SEND SET RANGE TO
DISPLAY button, located in the far, lower right-hand corner of the software
GUI.
d) Click the SEND BOX VALUES button (or send the command codes if you are
using your own software). The display should now show the temperature
properly, and you can now use the MP-2986 to set the set point temperature
and to show the actual temperature being sensed.
e) If you intend to operate the controller separate from the computer, save the
controller settings to EEPROM, shut the computer down, and then disconnect
the controller from the computer and power supply before connecting the MP-
2986. (See the controller manual for complete details.)
