6.3 CMS Control
The CMS can be controlled using the remote control facility included in the RMF-View software package, installed
on a computer. Alternatively customers can use their own computer software.
Since the CMS includes a built-in data logging memory, operators can make use of the remote control facility in
one of two ways:
−
Direct Online Operation
The CMS is permanently connected to a computer while tests are carried out. The operator can set parameters,
type a label and initiate the test. They can then monitor the progress of each test. Each test result is displayed and
downloaded into the test database as it is completed.
−
Disconnected Operation
Here the CMS operates as a standalone item, performing tests on a schedule or under external command from a
control system. If a permanent record of the results is needed, an operator can connect a computer and use RMF-
View to download the accumulated test data. The CMS can hold up to 4000 tests in the memory.
6.3.1 Computer Connection
The connection is made using an RS485 adaptor connected to the computer or control device
.
The CMSUSBi is included as a pre-wired solution for USB (all modern laptops and PCs). Make the connection, start
RMF-View running and then apply power to the CMS.
Figure 6.16
To access the Remote Device facility in RMF-View, press the Remote Control button (Figure 6.17) on the toolbar.
The Connect dialogue will then appear (Figure 6.18).
