5.2  Configuration software DTEMPconfig

NOTE!

i

A configuration document (DBC file) is included in the scope of delivery 

of a HV DTemp measuring system. If the configuration document has to 

be changed, the configuration software DTEMPconfig is required. This 

software is available at CSM for a license fee. For further details please 

contact the sales department..
