The M5900 Program Generator

In order to write a custom program for the M5900 you must use the M5900 Program
Generator. The Program Generator is installed on a Windows® based PC and allows the
user to write custom applications with little or no programming skills.

These programs along with associated data files are uploaded to the M5900 terminal
using the USB or serial connector.

Once data is collected information can then be downloaded from the M5900 using the
Program generator tools. This data can then be exported to be used by other PC based
programs.

The M5900 Built-in Programs

The M5900 comes standard with several built-in programs (P1 – P6). These programs
can be used to collect data immediately, or modified for a custom application.
