3 Calibration & setup
The Universal Configuration Module
The Universal Configuration Module (UCM) is a Windows based software application, which
serves as the calibration, setup and maintenance tool for the FlexZone sensor system. The UCM
communicates with the FlexZone processor locally through a USB connection, or remotely via the
Silver Network Manager. When you start the UCM, a window displays that enables you to specify
the device to which you are connecting.
Note Consult the online help for detailed information on UCM operation.
