7.2 Parameter adjustment with PACTware
As an alternative to the integrated indicating and adjustment unit, the
adjustment can be also carried out via a Windows PC. For this, the
configuration software PACTware and a suitable instrument driver
(DTM) according to the FDT standard are required. The actual
PACTware version as well as all available DTMs are compiled in a
DTM Collection. Furthermore, the DTMs can be integrated into other
frame applications according to the FDT standard.
Note:
To ensure that all instrument functions are supported, you should
always use the latest DTM Collection. Furthermore, not all described
functions are included in older firmware versions. The latest instrument
software can be also downloaded from our homepage. A description of
the update procedure is also available in the Internet.
Further setup steps are described in the operating instructions manual
"DTM Collection/PACTware" attached to each DTM Collection and
which can also be downloaded from the Internet. A detailed
description is available in the online help of PACTware and the DTMs
as well as in the supplementary instructions manual "RS232/Ethernet
connection".
When connecting via USB, the instrument serial number must be
entered as a ddress in the DTM during project setup without assistant
(offline mode). To do this, click with the right mouse key in the project
window on the USB-DTM and select "Additional functions - Change
DTM addresses".
When connecting via Ethernet, VEGAMET 391 must be provided with
a suitable IP address and subnet mask. If the project setup is carried
out without assistant (online mode), IP address and subnet mask must
be entered additionally in the DTM. Click in the project window with the
right mouse key to the Ethernet DTM and choose "Add. functions -
Modify DTM addresses".
All device DTMs are available as a free-of-charge standard version
and as a full version that must be purchased. In the standard version,
all functions for complete setup are already included. An assistent for
simple project configuration simplifies the adjustment considerably.
Saving/printing the project as well as import/export functions are also
part of the standard version.
In the full version there is also an extended print function for complete
project documentation as well as a save function for measured value
and echo curves. In addition, there is a tank calculation p rogram as
well as a multiviewer for display and analysis of the saved measured
value and echo curves.
