64 Handbook BM 100 A
9.4.2 F2 Connection:
Opens a connection between PCSTAR and the gauge.
This will establish a connection with the gauge (s). A small window will open either confirming the
connection or advising the user otherwise. This will open a window which displays graphics of the
current status of outputs and a representation of the tank.
If the PC-STAR doesn’t succeed in making a connection, the RTS shutdown parameter (see Section
9.4.4: F4 – Serial Parameters below) will be automatically incremented until a connection is made.
This shows the real-time tank status. This screen is divided into three parts. In default layout for a
single output, this will show a bar with Current output 1and level graduations on the left hand side, a
representation of the tank with its contents in the middle (the top dead zone will be indicated as a
grey dotted line) and a bar with distance and level graduations on the right.
