12 Operation mode

When the USB cable is connected at power on, or during operation and logging is off, the menu asks
you to select between:

12.1 PC communication

This sets normal operation with the possibility to use the Meteon 2.0 PC software. See chapter
16 for a detailed description.

12.2 Transparent

This sets the Meteon to act just as an RS485 to USB interface. In this mode the Meteon
functionality and Meteon PC software are not functional. However it does allow the use of K&Z Smart
sensors such as SMP pyranometers to communicate with the SmartExplorer software. After selecting
this option the Meteon asks you if (sensor) power is required from the Meteon, or not. If your
radiometer has no other power source, select Yes.
