7. PROGRAMMING YOUR TRANSMITTER

OVERVIEW

Our transmitters are easily programmed using a PC with an RS232 port and Instrument Setup
(IS)
software, which provides a graphical user interface. The software allows uploading, editing,
downloading and saving of setup data, execution of commands under computer control, listing,
plotting and graphing of data, and computer prompted calibration.

USING IS SOFTWARE

Use a 3-wire RS232 cable (P/N CBL04) to connect your transmitter to the COM port of your PC.
Download the file

ISx_x_x.exe

from our website and double-click on the file name. Click on

Install Instrument Setup Software

and follow the prompts. To launch IS software, press on

Start => Programs => IS2 => Instrument Setup

or on the desktop icon that you may have

created. Following a brief splash screen, the

Communications Setup

screen will appear.
