The software that accompanies the MicroFlow can be used to setup, test, obtain
and record readings from a sensor. To utilise the features of the software, a RS485
connector which is available from Pulsar (as shown in Fig.9 below), is required to
communicate between the sensor and your machine.
If a Pulsar controller is installed, common setup parameters can be programmed
directly from the controller, such as ‘Gain’ and ‘Damping’. This chapter outlines
how to install the software onto your machine and how to use it with your
MicroFlow sensor.
Software installation
Insert the CD that accompanies the MicroFlow sensor into your PC/Laptop. If
you do not have a CD drive on your laptop, then this software can be downloaded
from
the Pulsar Process Measurement website: www.pulsar-
pm.com/support/downloads/software.aspx and choose to download MicroFlow
PC from the list which will then be downloaded onto your machine.
When setting up the RS485 connector for the first use, you will need to install the
necessary drivers for it to operate correctly with your OS. These drivers can be
installed from your installation disc. Run the
MicroFlow PC Setup.exe from the
CD, or from the downloaded file from our website to install the MicroFlow PC
software correctly, which will automatically install the necessary drivers for your
RS485 connector. Once downloaded, a shortcut icon will be created onto your
Desktop for ease of use. Double click on this icon to launch the program.
For optimum installation insert your RS485 connector to your PC whilst installing
the drivers, where your PC should assign it to a Com Port. Or if you have an
internet connection, upon inserting the USB of the RS485 connector for the first
time, Windows updates should install this onto your computer for you. Once the
driver’s installation has completed, remove the RS485 connector from your
machine. Your RS485 connector is ready to be used when a connection to
MicroFlow PC is required.
