FREE ScanView
Programming Software
The scanner can be powered from the USB connection. When
using the USB connection, DO NOT apply AC or DC power to
the scanner.
The easiest and quickest way to program your Helios
Modbus scanner is to use the FREE ScanView
programming software. This software is loaded into
the scanner and connects and installs directly to your
PC with a USB cable. We recommend that the first
thing you do after taking the Modbus scanner out of
the box is connect it to your PC with the provided
USB cable
– do not use a different cable.
DO NOT
apply AC or DC power to the scanner while your PC
is connected to the scanner as it will disrupt the USB
connection.
ScanView programming software is intuitive, and
most customers can get their scanner programmed as
they like without even looking in the manual.

In addition to programming, the software may be used
for:
•
Monitoring
•
Datalogging using your PC
•
Generating and saving programming files for
later use
Once your Modbus scanner is programmed the way
you want it, you can wire it up for your application per
the instructions in this manual and install it. If you find
that you need to make adjustments to the
programming after the scanner is installed, you can
use the programming buttons and the instructions in
this manual to do so.
