Composer Elite Multi-Sensor Software
6.1 Introduction
Composer Elite Multi-Sensor Software interfaces Composer Elite with a computer
for monitoring and storing data using a standard RS-232C COM port or DeviceNet.
Composer Elite Multi-Sensor Software allows for the simultaneous measurement,
graphing and datalogging of up to five sensors. Five sensor tabs, graphing five key
variables per sensor, are displayed on the main screen: Frequency, Temperature,
Concentration, Amplitude and PWM. See
Figure 6-2 on page 6-4 .
If Composer Elite encounters a communications error, it is reported on the bottom
of the main screen. See
section 6.3.13, Composer Elite Multi-Sensor Software
Warnings and Errors, on page 6-16 .
6.2 Hardware Requirements
6.2.1 Computer Requirements
Refer to section 1.5.6, Computer Requirements for Composer Elite Multi-Sensor
Software, on page 1-13 .
6.2.2 RS-232 Requirements
Use a shielded, straight-through cable for RS-232 communications (refer to Table
5-1 on page 5-2 for cable pin connections). If the computer does not have an
available RS-232 port, use a USB-Serial Adapter and a straight-through cable.
For information on connecting the RS-232 cable to the Sensor Control Unit, refer
to section
section 2.2.3, Installing Interconnect, Power Supply, and
Communications Cables, on page 2-11 .
6.2.3 DeviceNet Requirements
Refer to section 1.5.7, DeviceNet Requirements for Composer Elite Multi-Sensor
Software, on page 1-13 .
For information on connecting the DeviceNet cable to the Sensor Control Unit, refer
to
section 2.2.3, Installing Interconnect, Power Supply, and Communications
Cables, on page 2-11 .
