7.2  Parameter adjustment

For parameter adjustment of the instrument via a Windows PC, the 

configuration software PACTware and a suitable instrument driver 

(DTM) according to FDT standard are required. The up-to-date 

PACTware version as well as all available DTMs are compiled in a 

DTM Collection. The DTMs can also be integrated into other frame 

applications according to FDT standard.

Note:

To ensure that all instrument functions are supported, you should 

always use the latest DTM Collection. Furthermore, not all described 

functions are included in older firmware versions. You can download 

the latest instrument software from our homepage. A description of 

the update procedure is also available in the Internet.
Further setup steps are described in the operating instructions manu
