optoCONTROL 1202
6.8
Software Tool
The ODC1202 tool software is used for parameterizing and controlling the optoCONTROL 1202.
The measured values provided by the receiver can be visualized with the PC software. The software provides
you among other things
- at the adjustment of transmitter and receiver
- at setting of suitable tolerance limits.
The data exchange between the PC and the receiver is effected through a standard RS232 interface. For this
purpose the receiver is connected to the PC with the serial interface cable SCD1202-x. When parameteri
-
zation is finished, the setting values can be permanently saved in an EEPROM memory of the receiver. The
optoCONTROL 1202 then continues operation in the “STAND-ALONE“ mode without PC.
Functions of the software:
- Visualization of measurement data in numeric and graphic output fields
- Setting of the laser power for the laser transmitter
- Setting of the polarity of the digital switching outputs OUT0, OUT1, and OUT2
- Selection of a suitable evaluation mode
- Presetting of setpoint value and tolerance band
- Saving of parameters in a EEPROM memory at the receiver, or in a configuration file on the hard disk of
the PC
