3.13 KEYPAD ALTERNATIVES

There are six alternative methods other than the faceplate push buttons for accessing and changing
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 SUPERVISOR-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
3.13.2).

6.

Using the remote keypad. (See Appendix C, Remote Keypad.)

Figure 3-6 illustrates the Hand Held Configurer and personal computer mini-DIN plug cables neces-
sary to configure an instrument using alternative methods 1 through 5 described above. The
personal computer cable type (9 pin or 25 pin) is dependent upon the communications port connec-
tor.

3.13.1 USING THE HAND HELD CONFIGURER
