20. INSTRUMENT SETUP VIA PC
Instrument Setup (IS) Software is a PC program which is at no charge and is easier to learn
than front panel programming. With the meter connected to the PC, it allows uploading, editing
and downloading of setup data, execution of commands under computer control, listing,
plotting and graphing of data, and computer prompted scaling. With the meter unconnected
to a PC, it provides quick selection of jumper locations and a printable display of menu
selections for front panel setup.
SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
Under Windows 7 or 10, set User Account Control (UAC) to “Never Notify” so that IS software
can write files. Turn off an restart your computer. Download IS2*.exe onto your PC from our
website. Double-click on the downloaded file to unzip it into a directory, such as c:\temp.
Within that directory, double-click on setup.exe to install the software on your PC.
PREREQUISITES FOR CONNECTED USE
1) PC with an available communication port.
2) Meter to be set up.
3) Communication board in meter. This board
can be removed following meter setup.
4) Communication cable from meter to PC.
5) Instrument Setup software.
ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATIONS
Connect the meter and PC. Apply power to the meter. Be sure that the meter is in Run Mode,
not Setup Mode. To start the software from Windows, click on Start => Programs => IS2 =>
IS2. Click on RS232 => Establish. The program will temporarily set the selected Com port to
the required baud rate, parity, data bits and stop bit. Once communications have been
established, click on Main Menu. The software will sense the type of meter and installed
boards, but it cannot sense jumpers positions nor set jumpers for you. If the computer is not
connected to a meter, select DPM and Series 2.
