SUMMIT 8800 CONFIGURATOR 04
This volume limits itself to the offline editing functions of the configurator, specifically to the
configuration functions related to the meters and associated equipment.
The offline function allows the user to create a new application without actually being connected
to the flow computer. It is also possible to load a previously created application from:
• a flow computer by using “Connect”
• a disk by using “Load Setup”.
The SUMMIT is continuously being improved with new functions and capabilities resulting in dif-
ferent versions of the configurator. The configurator is upwards compatible: a new configurator
can handle all previous versions. Off course, only the highest version has all the latest capabili-
ties, so it is recommended to always use the latest version.
The flow computer must support the configurator capabilities. Its firmware must therefore be
compatible to the configurator version used, if not, the application cannot be loaded into the flow
computer. It is possible to upgrade old applications to new versions via “Load setup” but check
whether all functions are still supported.
To start the creation of a new application, start the configurator and select “Edit offline”:
