EASY SETUP AND PROGRAMMING
The Trident is easily setup and programmed using the simple four-
button programming method. The meter can also be programmed
using a PC and Precision Digital’s free MeterView software or
“cloned” with the Copy function. There is only one switch on the
entire meter, no jumpers, and no need to ever open the case.
Programming with Four Front Panel Buttons
The Trident’s four front panel buttons keep the user in
control of the programming process. To see how simple
it is to program the Trident, check out the Virtual Meter at

Programming From a PC with MeterView
®
Precision Digital’s free MeterView
®
software allows all PD765
Trident setup parameters to be programmed from a PC and to save
the configuration settings to a file for reporting or programming
other meters. And since the serial adapter is an external device,
one serial adapter can program an infinite number of meters!

Meter Copy
The Copy function is used to copy (or clone) all the settings from
one Trident meter to other Trident meters in less than 10 seconds.
The Copy function is a standard feature on all meters. The Copy
feature does not require a serial communication adapter, it only re-
quires the optional cable assembly (PDA7420), see the ordering
