The adjustment program recognises the sensor type
The PC can be connected at any location in
the system or on the signal cable. It is con-
nected by means of the two-wire PC interface
converter VEGACONNECT 2 to the sensor or
the signal cable. The adjustment and param-
eter data can be saved with the adjustment
software on the PC and can be protected by
passwords. On request, the adjustments can
be quickly transferred to other sensors.
Product description
1.3 Adjustment
Each measuring situation is unique. For that
reason, every radar sensor needs some
basic information on the application and the
environment, e.g. which level means "empty“
and which level "full“. Beside this "empty and
full adjustment“, many other settings and
adjustments are possible with VEGAPULS
radar sensors.
The adjustment and parameter setting of
radar sensors are carried out with
- the PC
- the detachable adjustment module MINI-
COM
- the HART
®-
handheld
Adjustment with PC
The setup and adjustment of the radar sen-
sors is generally done on the PC with the
adjustment program VEGA Visual Operating
(VVO) under Windows
®
.
The program leads
quickly through the adjustment and param-
eter setting by means of pictures, graphics
and process visualisations.
