This chapter is the user manuasl of the Remote Maintenance Monitoring (RMM) program of
the NM 7050 series Marker Beacon.
10.1 Introduction
The remote monitoring software consists of software running in the MB rack (the RMS) and on
software running on IBM/PC's or compatibles (the RMM). The purpose of the system is to
retrieve status and measurements from the MB rack and to change the MB operation and
parameters. The retrieved data can be displayed and further processed by programs on the
PC. This includes displaying data on screen, saving data and exporting data to other pro-
grams, i.e. for trending analysis.

As mentioned above you need a PC to run the RMM software. The operating system has to
be either Windows 95 (or newer) or Windows NT 4.0 (or newer). The table below shows the

these chapters.
