Operating Basics
3.1 Configuration menu
The ML-2012/13 can be configured by means of terminal emulation software like ‘hyper terminal’. Our
own terminal emulation software ‘YDOC-terminal’ can be downloaded from
www.your-data-our-
care.com
The menu is comprehensive and easy to use. For each different sensor the same approach is used.
Below,
one example is given to fully understand the operation of the menu. The example takes you
through a configuration from start to final stage. Only a few menu-items are used in this example, for a
complete overview of all menu-items, see chapter Reference. All menu items use the same approach
which is explained in this example. This example explains only the configuration of the firmware, NOT the
wiring. For wiring information see the reference.
Example:
Let’s Configure a ML-2012/13 for operation with the following:
-
Analog pressure transmitter 4 .. 20mA
-
CT2X conductivity / temperature sensor (INW)
-
FTP data output
-
EMAIL data output
Connect the logger to a free USB port on your computer and open with a terminal emulator the virtual
COM-port (e.g. COM7) as assigned by Windows to the logger. The first time Windows will ask (if not
already installed) for an USB-driver, which can be downloaded from our website as well.
When the terminal emulator has opened the COM-port, press:
<Ctrl>A<Shift>M<Ctrl>D
to enter the configuration menu.
You’ll see a screen similar to this:
