User Configurable:
Read Settings from File:
Allows the end user to upload factory
parameters from a backup file to the LP Dashboard. This task is
usually performed from a saved backup file or the original backup file
maintained by MTS.
Write Setting to a File:
Allows the end user to download a backup file
of factory parameters from the LP Dashboard to a PC. This task is
usually performed after Read Settings from Gauge. Note – wait until
all settings have changed from Red to White before writing as the color
change signals that the settings have been updated.
Write Settings to Gauge:
Allows the end user to program the level
transmitter with the factory parameters displayed on the LP Dashboard.
This task is usually performed after Read Settings from File.
Read Settings from Gauge:
Allows the end user to update all of the
factory parameters displayed on the screen. All settings will turn Red
and then will turn white as they are updated.
Note:
A copy of the backup file is maintained by MTS including all factory
parameters as the level transmitter was originally setup after
completing testing and calibration at the MTS factory. MTS can
provide a copy of the backup file upon request based off of the serial
number of the level transmitter. Contact MTS Technical Support for
assistance.
