The Universal Configuration Module

Note: Consult the online help for detailed information on UCM operation.
The Universal Configuration Module (UCM) is a Windows based software
application, which serves as the calibration, setup and maintenance tool for the
FlexZone sensor system. The UCM communicates with the FlexZone processor
locally through a USB connection, or remotely via the Silver Network Manager.
When you start the UCM, a window displays that enables you to specify the
device to which you are connecting.

The files can then be reopened at a later time (Work Offline).
