14. INSTRUMENT SETUP VIA PC

OVERVIEW

Our serial input meters are easily programmed using a PC with an RS232 port and Instru-
ment 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 INSTRUMENT SETUP SOFTWARE

Use a 4-wire RS232 cable (P/N CBL01) to connect your
meter 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 Commu-
nications Setup
screen will appear.

In the Communications Setup screen, select the Custom ASCII as the protocol, as this is
the factory default setting. Select Panel Meter L. LW as the Device Type. Then click on the
RS-232 (USB) button. This will take you to the Establish Communications screen.
