3.3 KEYPAD ALTERNATIVES
There are six alternative methods other than the faceplate push buttons for accessing and chang-
ing database parameters. All six methods to display and/or alter database parameters are listed
as follows:
1. Using a personal computer running the MC5FIG.EXE configuration program that is sup-
plied as part of the 53HC3300 software package. This procedure is included in the In-
struction Bulletin (IB 53HC3300) with the software.
2. Using a personal computer running the configuration program that is supplied as part of
the 53MT6000 software package. This procedure is included in the Instruction Bulletin
(IB 53MT6000) with the software.
3. Using an
S
UPERVISOR-PC with configuration software. This procedure is pro-
vided in the SUPERVISOR-PC Instruction Bulletin (IB 53SU5000).
4. Using the Hand Held Configurer connected to the configuration port mini-DIN plug
on the front panel of the instrument.
5. Using an ASCII RS-232 terminal or a PC terminal emulator application connected to the
configuration port mini-DIN plug on the front panel of the instrument (Refer to Section
3.3.2).
6. Using the remote keypad. (See Appendix C, Remote Keypad.)
Figure 3-3 illustrates the Hand Held Configurer and personal computer mini-DIN plug cables neces-
sary to configure an instrument using alternative methods 1 through 6 described above. The per-
sonal computer cable type (9 pin or 25 pin) is dependent upon the communications port connector.
3.3.1 USING THE HAND HELD CONFIGURER
The "Configuration Port" connector behind the pull-down door on the front panel (see Figure 3-1) al-
lows the attachment of the Hand Held Configurer. The configurer can then be used to display
or change any parameter in the controller’s data base.
The Hand Held Configurer (HHC) is a portable terminal designed to interface with the 53MC5000
through the configuration port. The "Configuration Port" connector is located behind the pull-down
door on the front panel of the 53MC5000 (see Figure 3-1). The Hand Held Configurer is available
in two versions:
•
The Standard HHC allows the user to display or change individually the various
parameters in the instrument database. The part number for ordering this HHC is
698B182U01.
•
In addition to the capabilities of the Standard HHC, the HHC with Memory
Functions allows the user to save and/or load the entire database and program of
an instrument on a removable storage cartridge. The part number for ordering this
HHC is 698B182U02.
