5 Transmitter Configuration Using the ViscoSite
Software for PC
5.1 Introduction
The ViscoSite PC software is a robust graphical user interface that can be used
to configure the vast majority of the transmitter’s opt
ions, parameters, and
settings. The ViscoSite PC software communicates with the transmitter via a local
PC USB connection or a remote PC Ethernet connection across a wired LAN.
Section 5 provides a description of the software’s capabilities
and their use to
configure a ViscoSite transmitter using the ViscoSite software.
5.2 ViscoSite Software Home Screen
This discussion of the ViscoSite software assumes that the ViscoSite transmitter
is connected and communicating either locally via USB or remotely via Ethernet.
The network settings must be entered into the transmitter via the keypad prior to
the first Ethernet LAN connection. Once entered, connect the transmitter to the
LAN.
The hardware connections between the transmitter and the PC are discussed in
Sections 3.11.2 and 3.11.3.
Launching the ViscoSite software program displays the home screen. See Figure
5.1. The purpose and functionality of all buttons, menus and submenus are
provided below.
