Section 5 - STA PC Conguration
Note: Earlier versions of STA were shipped with Transfer Utility Software not PC Configuration
Software. This allows you to upload/download, view and print but not change your instrument’s
configuration. For the latest version of PC Configuration Software, please go to www.miinet.com
Installing the Configuration Software
Refer to Table 5.1 for the equipment needed.
1. Check the Moore Industries website @ www.miinet.com for the latest software package
to ensure you have the latest release. Also if you are not able to go online install software
using the included Moore Industries Interface Solution PC Configuration Software
CD. Insert CD into the CD drive of the PC. Access the CD and open the “STA
PC
Configuration Software” folder.
2. Double-click the installation program located in the folder. Follow the prompts to correctly
install the program.
Once the Configuration Program is installed onto your PC, the STA can be connected to
equipment to simulate input and monitor output. You can then change the operating parameters
of the alarm.
No Unit Needed
It is not necessary to connect the STA to a PC to create configuration files using the software.
The Configuration Program can be run without connecting an STA, and most parameters can be
set without benefit of input from a sensor or STA.
This makes it easy to create a set of operating parameters, save them to disk, and download
them to one or more instruments at a later time.
The STA must be connected to the PC in order to: trim input, trim output, assign a tag, perform a
loop test, receive (via download) a configuration file, and save the configuration file (via upload)
from the STA’s memory.
Selecting Model Type
User must select model type and Firmware version when the software is opened without a
unit connected as shown below. Unit type is determined by Input Type and Analog Output
Configuration and firmware Rev, additional features added if firmware is v1.6 or greater. When a
unit is connected the software will select the correct type automatically.
Connecting the STA to the PC
Connect the RS-232 or USB end of the cable to the PC’s COM/USB port.
See Table 5.1 for information on the necessary equipment.
