Usage
To use the software FM3002Control, the FM 3002 has to be connected to the serial port of the PC.
After the start of FM3002Control chose the correct port to where the FM 3002 is connected in the upper
left dropdown-box. Now press “Connect” to establish the connection. If the connection is successfully
established the remaining controls are enabled. The actual set parameters of the FM 3002 are read out
and the dropdown-boxes are preset to these parameter-values. Moreover the version of the internal
firmware of the FM 3002 is printed in the status-bar.
The user-interface of FM3002Control is primarily built after the front of the FM 3002 and is only adapted
to the extended possibilities of the serial interface commands.
The display-area shows the same as the display of the instrument. Because the software has to wait for
the measured values with longer measuring times the software can react lazily.
In the dropdown-box under the buttons the corresponding parameter is chosen. Therefore one of the
predefined values can be chosen or where permitted one can enter any other value (in the boundaries
of permitted range). By pressing the button, the setting is send to the FM 3002. For the exact function
and the value-range see the operating manual of the FM 3002.
In the upper part of the window, the acoustic feedback and the lock of the front-keys can switched on
and off. With “restore Default” the FM 3002 can be reset to the factory values. For details see here the
operating manual of the FM 3002, too.
