SETUP AND PROGRAMMING
Programming From a PC with MeterView
®
Precision Digital’s free MeterView
®
software allows all PD765 Trident
setup parameters to be programmed from a PC (requires PDC protocol
selection) and to save the configuration settings to a file for reporting or
programming other meters. And since the serial adapter is an external
device, one serial adapter can program an infinite number of meters!
The MeterView screen shot above shows how the input is selected. No-
tice there are tabs for Scaling, Relays/Alarms, Advanced, and Factory
Values.

Overview
There are no jumpers involved in the setup process of the meter. The
RTD/TC selector switch, located between the SIGNAL and SERIAL con-
nectors, must be set accordingly for the meter to accept RTD or thermo-
couple inputs, Figure 2.
Setup and programming is done through the front panel buttons.
After power and signal connections have been completed and verified,
apply power to the meter.
