Section 4—Conguration and Operation via Software
The MC-III™ interface software provides easy access to all conguration parameters and is the quickest way
to congure the device. Instead of navigating keypad menus, users enter conguration parameters with their
computer keyboard.
While basic parameters can be congured with the keypad (see Section 3), the interface software is the
only means of accessing every congurable parameter. For example, multipoint calibration for liquid or
gas measurement and gas volume correction parameters for measuring gas in standard cubic feet must be
congured via the interface software.
Table 4.1, page 47, provides a quick reference for determining whether a congurable parameter is
accessible through both the keypad menu and the interface software, or only through the interface software.
Installing the Software
The MC-III interface software is stored on a CD that is shipped with each instrument, and it installs directly
onto a PC or laptop. To install the interface software on a computer, perform the following steps:
1. Place the MC-III CD in your CD-ROM drive.
2. The MC-III install screen will load automatically.
3. Click on “Next” to initiate the installation, and follow the instructions on the screen. An MC-III icon
(Figure 4.1) will appear on the desktop of the user’s PC or laptop when installation is complete.
To access the interface software, click on the MC-III icon on your desktop or go the Start menu and select
Programs>NuFlo>MC-III>MC-III.

The Help menu, accessible from the task bar at the top of the Welcome screen (Figure 4.2, page 38),
provides access to documentation designed to assist the user in installing, conguring, and operating the MC-
III Panel Mount ow analyzer. This documentation includes:
• a “read me” le for general reference (includes contact information for technical assistance)
• an electronic copy of the user manual
• an electronic copy of the quick-start guide for installing and conguring the MC-III Panel Mount
• a COM troubleshooting guide for addressing communications errors (this guide will automatically display
on screen when a communication error is detected)
The manuals can also be downloaded from Cameron’s Measurement Systems Division website,
