3.0 Configuration
To configure the IQ plus 210 indicator, the indicator must be placed in setup mode. The setup switch is accessed by removing
the large fillister head screw on the enclosure backplate. Insert a screwdriver into the access hole and press the switch to enter
setup mode.
When the indicator is placed in setup mode, the word
CONFIG
is shown on the display. The
CONFIG
menu is the first of the main
menus used to configure the indicator. Detailed descriptions of these menus are given in Section 3.2 . When configuration is
complete, press the setup switch again to exit setup mode, then replace the setup switch access screw.
3.1 Configuration Methods
The IQ plus 210 indicator can be configured by using the front panel buttons to navigate through a series of configuration
menus or by sending commands or configuration data to the EDP port. Configuration using the menus is described in
Section 3.1.3 on page 11 .
Configuration using the EDP port can be accomplished using either the EDP command set described in Section 5.0 on page 22
or Version 2.3 or later of the Revolution
™
configuration utility.
3.1.1 Revolution Configuration
The Revolution configuration utility provides the preferred method for configuring the IQ plus 210 indicator. Revolution runs on
a personal computer to set configuration parameters for the indicator. When Revolution configuration is complete, configuration
data is downloaded to the indicator.
Figure 3-1. Sample Revolution Display
Revolution supports both uploading and downloading of indicator configuration data. This capability allows configuration data to
be retrieved from one indicator, edited, then downloaded to another.
To use Revolution, do the following:
1. Install Revolution on an IBM-compatible personal computer running Windows ® 3.11 or Windows 95. Minimum system
requirements are 8MB of extended memory and at least 5MB of available hard disk space.
2. With both indicator and PC powered off, connect the PC serial port to the RS-232 pins on the indicator EDP port.
3. Power up the PC and the indicator. Use the setup switch to place the indicator in setup mode.
4. Start the Revolution program.
Figure 3-1 shows an example of one of the Revolution configuration displays.
Revolution provides online help for each of its configuration displays. Parameter descriptions provided in this manual for front
panel configuration can also be used when configuring the indicator using Revolution: the interface is different, but the
parameters set are the same.
