Device
Specifications
Version 1.0 or greater, successfully installed to the hard drive
Part# 803-053-26, or optional USB cable 208-236-00
No Transmitter Needed
It is not necessary to connect the transmitter to a PC
to create configuration files using the software. The
Configuration Program can be run without connecting
a transmitter, and
most
parameters can be set
without the benefit of input from a sensor or TMZ.
This makes it easy to create a set of operating
parameters, save them to disk, and download them to
one or more transmitters at a later time.
The TMZ
must
be connected to the PC in order to:
perform sensor trimming; assign a tag, descriptor or
message; receive (via download) a configuration file;
and save the configuration file from the transmitter’s
memory.
Connecting the TMZ to the PC
Connect the RS-232 end of the cable to the PC’s COM
port.
See Table 6 for information on the necessary
equipment.
Installing the Configuration
Software
Refer to Table 6 for the equipment needed.
1.
Insert the
Moore Industries Interface Solution
PC Configuration Software
CD into the CD
drive of the PC. Access the CD and open the
“TMZ PC Configuration Software” folder.
2.
Double-click the installation program located
in the folder. Follow the prompts to correctly
install the program.
Once the Configuration Program is installed on the
PC, the TMZ can be connected to equipment to
simulate input and monitor output. You can then
change the transmitter’s operating parameters.
The latest version of our Configuration Software for
your TMZ unit is also available for download on our
