SETTINGS

Connection settings

Use Mekuwin program to configure the device. You can download Mekuwin from Nokeval’s web 

site for free.

Default communication settings for configuration:

• Baud rate 9600

• protocol SCL

• address 0

Menu

Serial submenu (Ser)

Serial communication settings. Note that the changes here do not take effect until the device is 

rebooted.

Address

SCL address selection. Allowed addresses are 0...123.

Baud

Baud rate selection. Options are 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19200.

Receive submenu (Rcv)

CRCChk

If selected, CRC checksum of received data packets is checked and corrupted packets are 

rejected. The setting is on by default and there is no reason to disable the setting.

CH1ID..CH4ID

Four MTR series transmitters (except MTR260) can be defined to act as certain channel. For 

example, when FTR970 receives ”MEA CH 1?” command it sends latest received data from the 

transmitter that has been assigned to channel one. To assing a device to channel one, set the 

transmitter’s ID to CH1ID value. Other channels can be assigned in the same way.
