it is generally recommended to set the switch to "Off". Less power is
consumed this way and the lifetime of the battery is increased.
7.3 Parameter adjustment with PC and PACTware
For adjustment via Windows PC, a Bluetooth USB adapter and the
configuration software PACTware with the suitable instrument driver
(DTM) according to FDT standard are required. The up-to-date PACT-
ware version as well as all available DTMs are compiled in a DTM
Collection. The DTMs can also be integrated in other frame applica-
tions according to FDT standard.
Note:
To ensure that all instrument functions are supported, you should
always use the latest DTM Collection. Furthermore, not all described
functions are included in older firmware versions. You can download
the latest instrument software from our homepage. A description of
the update procedure is also available in the Internet.
The basic operation of the software is described in the operating
instructions manual "
DTM Collection/PACTware
" attached to each
DTM Collection and which can also be downloaded from the Internet.
Detailed descriptions are available in the online help of PACTware and
the DTMs.
All device DTMs are available as a free-of-charge standard version
and as a full version that must be purchased. In the standard version,
all functions for complete setup are already included. An assistant for
simple project configuration simplifies the adjustment considerably.
Saving/printing the project as well as import/export functions are also
part of the standard version.
In the full version there is also an extended print function for complete
project documentation as well as a save function for measured value
and echo curves. In addition, there is a tank calculation program as
well as a multiviewer for display and analysis of the saved measured
value and echo curves.
The VEGA Bluetooth USB adapter is required for communication with
PLICSMOBILE T81. A Bluetooth module (possibly already installed
in the PC or notebook) or a USB adapter from another manufacturer
cannot be used. You can find further information in the instructions
booklet of the Bluetooth USB adapter.
Make sure that the Bluetooth switch on the electronics module is set
to "On" and the Bluetooth USB adapter is inserted.
Start the project assistant in PACTware; the Bluetooth USB adapter,
the PLICSMOBILE T81 and the connected sensors should then be
found and displayed in the project window.
The protection against unauthorized access to the PLICSMOBILE
T81 is set up on two steps. The first step is the Bluetooth access
protection, controlling the general access to the instrument. After this
step, reading out the parameters is always possible. Via the second
