ES749 Software Version Information
The setup software assumes the current setup has been uploaded from the ow computer
into the PC. It is important that the setup program and the ES749 unit are using the same
setup information at all times or the data will be inconsistent. It is best to upload or download
the setup before using this feature to synchronize the setups.
Error Log
Data from the error logger is viewed in a separate Error Log section on the screen.
To start the viewer, rst check the boxes of items to view and then click the start button. The
data will appear in the appropriate sections and will be continuously updated. The refresh
rate is dependent on the number of items that are being viewed and the baud rate of the
connection. Data in the List of Values section can be collapsed by clicking on the ‘minus’
sign in front of the group title. The data can be expanded by clicking on the ‘plus’ sign in
front of the group title. If a group is collapsed and data in the group changes on refresh, the
group will automatically expand. Data in the Error Log section does not expand or collapse.
Changing the view items requires stopping the current viewing, checking the new selections
and then restarting the viewer.
If communication errors occur while reading data from the ES749 device, the word ‘Error’
will appear in place of the actual value. If the connection to the ES749 is lost, the viewer
will time out with a message saying the device is not responding.
The viewer will attempt to communicate with the ES749 device matching the device ID set in
the communications screen. If you are having trouble establishing communication, compare
settings for the PC and the ow computer. Also verify the connections between the PC and
ow computer.
