1 Product description
1.1 Configuration
Each instrument can be optionally equipped with an RS232 or an
Ethernet interface. These interfaces are permanently integrated and
cannot be retrofitted or exchanged. Connection is carried out via an
RJ-45 plug on the lower side of the respective instrument.
1.2 Principle of operation
RS232 interface
The RS232 interface is particularly suitable for easy modem connec-
tion for remote enquiry of measured values. For this purpose, external
analogue, ISDN and GSM modems can be used.
Ethernet interface
With the Ethernet interface, instruments can be connected directly to
an existing PC network. Each instrument is assigned its own IP ad-
dress at which it can be accessed from anywhere in the network.
1.3 Adjustment
To adjust the instrument, the configuration software PACTware and
a suitable instrument driver (DTM) according to FDT standard are
required. In addition, the DTMs can be integrated in other frame ap-
plications according to FDT standard. As an alternative, adjustment
of the basic functions is possible via the integrated indicating and
adjustment module.
All device DTMs from VEGA are available as a free-of-charge
standard version and as a full version that must be purchased. In
the standard version, all functions for complete setup are already
included. An assistent for simple project configuration simplifies the
adjustment considerably. Saving/printing the project as well as import/
export functions are also part of the standard version.
In the full version there is also an extended print function for complete
project documentation as well as a save function for measured value
and echo curves. In addition, there is a tank calculation program as
well as a multiviewer for display and analysis of the saved measured
value and echo curves.
The standard version is available as a free-of-charge download under
. The full version is available on CD from the
agency serving you.
The licence regulations allow you to copy a VEGA DTM any number
of times and use it on any number of computers, as long as you are
using the standard version. The full version must be bought sepa-
rately per computer and installation.
