also usually equipped with a sufficient current limiting resistance. In
such cases, the interface converter can be connected parallel to the
4 … 20 mA cable (dashed line in the previous illustration).
7.2 Parameter adjustment
For parameter adjustment of the instrument via a Windows PC, the
configuration software PACTware and a suitable instrument driver
(DTM) according to FDT standard are required. The latest PACTware
version as well as all available DTMs are compiled in a DTM Collec-
tion. The DTMs can also be integrated into other frame applications
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.
Further setup steps are described in the operating instructions manu-

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.
