—— Overview 1 Overview INTRODUCTION ConfigM30 provides an easy way to customize your gauge. Using a special serial cable (P/N: 1928) for Revision A, B, or C calibrators; a standard USB to micro USB cable for Revision D calibrators; and a computer running Windows and ConfigM30 you can: • • • • • • • • • • View and print an as receive versus as left change report Load and save custom configurations Return the gauge to factory configuration Select pressure units (e.g.
—— Operating Instructions 2 Operating Instructions INSTALLATION ConfigM30 is distributed as a self-extracting Setup application. Launch ConfigM30Setup.exe and follow the on-screen prompts. If the program was provided on CD, run the SETUP.EXE from the ConfigM30 folder and follow the on-screen prompts. The first time you start ConfigM30, you must select the communications port to be used.
Settings 3 —— Settings Settings are arranged in groups; GAUGE IDENTITY The only user setting is the “message store”—all other information is programmed by the factory. Store information specific to an individual gauge in the Message store text box. The Gauge Identity area displays information specific to the gauge currently connected. • • • • • • S/N: The serial number as reported by the gauge. Model: Model of the gauge (not available on older models).
—— Settings 4 STARTUP MESSAGES When turned on, the Model 30 will display a series of messages, typically the calibration due date and pressure ranges of the unit. Using ConfigM30, it is possible to change any of these messages as well as increase or decrease the number of displayed messages. To change startup messages, click on the Change... button in the Startup Messages group to open the Change Startup Messages dialog box.
—— Settings 5 LOAD AND SAVE CONFIGURATIONS Using the Load Configuration... and Save Configuration... buttons allows you to create custom setups of the gauge, such as enabling a limited set of engineering units or enabling other features in the gauge, and store that configuration for later use. Applications might include using a saved configuration to setup multiple gauges identically, or having different configurations for the same gauge to customize it for different applications.
Settings 6 Change Engineering Units dialog • • • • • Add a Unit: Select the unit to add and click the Add>> button. The unit will be moved from the Available Units list to the Units in Gauge list. Remove a Unit: Select the unit to remove and click the << Remove button. The unit will be moved from the Units in Gauge list to the Available Units list. Change the order of units: Select a unit in the Units in Gauge list and click the Move Up or Move Down button.
—— Settings 7 TRANSFERRING CUSTOM ENGINEERING UNITS When custom engineering units are defined, they are stored in a database that exists on the PC running ConfigM30. If a Model 30 gauge is programmed with a custom engineering unit and then connected to ConfigM30 running on another machine, the name of the unit will not be recognized by ConfigM30, although it will successfully connect to the unit.
—— Settings 8 CALIBRATION OPTIONS —— !!CAUTION: Userspan Wizards remove the effort of calculating the userspan value by allowing you to enter two calibration points (typically the midpoint and full scale values), and calculate the userspan for you. The wizard can optionally read the displayed value directly from the Model 30 when you enter is the applied pressure. To use the Userspan Wizard, simply click the appropriate Wizard button and follow the on-screen directions.
Settings 9 —— To remove an existing password, enter the current password and click the Remove Password button. This will clear the password and not require it to be entered on future gauge updates. If you have forgotten the password, it is possible to clear the password by requesting an unlock code from the factory. Contact Customer Service to obtain the code. Once you have the code, click the Forgot Password button and follow the on-screen directions to remove the password.
—— Settings 10 LANGUAGE SELECTION ConfigM30 supports alternate languages for the user interface. Some languages are available directly from the Crystal Engineering web site, while others can be obtained directly from your local Crystal Engineering distributor. To choose an alternate language, click the Language button to open the Select Language dialog box. You must use the version of ConfigM30 included with the language file.
—— Support 11 Support TROUBLESHOOTING Firmware Revision Dependencies Some older versions of the firmware do not fully support all of the features provided in ConfigM30. Users of WinUserSpan ConfigM30 provides all functionality of WinUserSpan, and WinUserSpan should no longer be used once ConfigM30 has been used with the gauge. Doing so may interfere with how ConfigM30 communicates with the gauge.
