Connections of the ATxConfig Interface
The transmitter requires to be powered during configuration. The ATxConfig
provides powering; however this depends on the PC used. To assure proper
communication, it is recommended to apply external power to the transmitter. A 9V
battery connected to the battery socket in the ATxConfig interface extremity can be used
to power the transmitter during the configuration. Another option is to run the transmitter
configuration when it is already connected to the process, using the same power that
powers the process. Refer to figure Connections of the ATxConfig Interface.
After making such connections, users must run the ATxConfig software and, if
necessary, use the Help to configure the transmitter. Figure ATxConfig software Main
Window, shows the ATxConfig Main Windows.
