Chapter 5. Using PanaView
5.1 Introduction
This chapter provides comprehensive instructions for programming the data required to place the
Sentinel LNG
system into operation. In order to program the
Sentinel LNG
, the user must have a personal computer connected to
the meter, and the
PanaView
™ software, shipped with the unit, installed on that computer.
Note:
See the PanaView
™ Graphical User Interface
User’s Manual for information on those User Program features
not covered in this chapter. The
Sentinel LNG
is designed to be programmed and operated with
PanaView™
software only.
5.2 Wiring the RS232 Interface
The
Sentinel LNG
uses an RS232 interface to communicate with a PC. For details on wiring your RS232 interface, please
refer to Chapter 2 (
Installation
) of this manual and to the document
EIA-RS Serial Communications
(916-054).
5.3 Establishing Communications with Panaview™
After your hardware and software have been installed as described in Chapter 2 of this manual and in Chapters 2
(
Installation
) and 3 (
Initial Setup
) of the
PanaView
™ User’s Manual, the procedure for establishing communications
with a meter may be started.
5.3.1
Adding a Communications Port
Under
File
open a
New Meter Browser
. The browser is designed to access computers and instruments with the look
and feel of a file management system. To connect to the instrument using a remote computer, first add that
computer to your network. If the computer is connected directly to the instruments, add the communication ports to
the browser network.
