11  Commissioning 
After the equipment has been installed and connected correctly, the sensor begins 
autonomously to take measurements. A Windows
®
 PC with serial interface, UMB-Config-Tool 
software and interface cable (SUB-D 9 pole; jack - socket; 1:1) are required for configuration 
and test purposes. 
 
Attention must be paid to the following points: 
  Check for correct equipment operation on site by carrying out a measurement with the 
  aid of the UMB-Config-Tool (see page 28).  
  The device must be aligned to the North in order to ensure correct wind measurement 
  (see page15). 
  If several 
Ventus
 devices are operated on a UMB network, a unique device ID must be 
  assigned to each device (see page 24). 
 
There is no protective cover to remove on the sensor itself.       
 
12  Configuration and Test 
12.1  Lufft ConfigTool 
For configuring and testing the 
Ventus
 Lufft provides the proprietary software UMB-
ConfigTool.Net. This program can also be used to update the firmware of the 
Ventus
. 
You will find the PC version on the Lufft homepage: https://www.lufft.com/resources/ 
Download the software UMB-ConfigTool.Net and install it on your computer. Use the online help 
of the software in order to get familiar with the program in general. 
The coming chapters only deal with aspects that apply specifically to 
Ventus
. 
 
Notes: During configuration and test all other interrogating devices such as modems / LCOM 
etc. have to be disconnected from the network. 
Note: The communication settings of the UMB-ConfigTool.Net have to be the same as in the 
device. 
Ventus
 default settings are:  baud rate: 19200, data format 8N1.
