5. PROGRAMMING
MicroTREK can be programmed in three (basic) ways.
• Programming with PCSTAR 2 software
• Programming with SAP-300 display unit
• Programming with HART® Handheld (HHC) Communicator (For operating instruction see the User manual of the HHC)
5.1 PROGRAMMING WITH PCSTAR 2 SOFTWARE
5.1.1 PCSTAR 2: INSTALLATION AND EXECUTION.
PCStar2 is a Windows software. It is used for programming the unit and displaying the measured variables.
System requirements:
• IBM 486 PC with minimum 75MHz processor, recommended: IBM PC Pentium 120MHz or better
• Microsoft Windows 9x, Me, 2000, NT or XP
• min. 16 MByte RAM
• min. 3 MByte free harddisc space
• Mouse or other pointing device
• Serial RS-232 port
Electrical connections: connect the HART® adapter (can be ordered separately)
through a load impedance of max. 350 Ohm to a serial RS232 port of the PC.
In hazardous-duty systems a HART capable Ex repeater must be inserted in the loop before the interface!
The HART adapter should be connected to the intrinsically safe input of the Ex repeater!
