Rice Lake Counterpart Configurable Counting Indicator - User Manual Rev. D - Version 2.4 - Manual (Page 29)

Configuration 23
3.3 Revolution Configuration
The Revolution configuration utility provides the preferred method for configuring the Counterpart indicator.
Revolution runs on a personal computer to set configuration parameters for the indicator. When Revolution
configuration is complete, configuration data is downloaded to the indicator.
Revolution supports both uploading and downloading of indicator configuration data. This capability allows
configuration data to be retrieved from one indicator, edited, and then downloaded to another indicator with an
identical hardware configuration.
To use Revolution, do the following:
1. Install Revolution on an IBM-compatible personal computer.
2. With both indicator and PC powered off, connect the PC serial port to the RS-232 pins on the indicator
serial port or to the optional USB communications card.
3. Power up the PC and the indicator. Use the setup switch to place the indicator in setup mode.
4. Start the Revolution program.
Figure 3-3. Revolution Display
Revolution provides on line help for each of its configuration displays. Parameter descriptions provided in this
manual for front panel configuration can also be used when configuring the indicator using Revolution — the
interface is different, but the parameters sets are the same.
