Programming With Idm; The Edit Functions Menu - GE XMTC User Manual

Chapter 3. Operation and Programming

3.4 Programming with IDM™

The XMTC is factory-programmed and ready for immediate use. However, if you wish to check or change the
calibration, you can access the XMTC programming from your PC, using GE Instrument Data Manager (IDM)
software. IDM also allows you to upload or download site files, display data, and log and view real-time data and
diagnostic data in numeric, bar chart or line chart formats. For further information on the display and logging functions,
refer to the Instrument Data Manager User's Manual (910-185).
Note: Be sure to install Instrument Data Manager on your PC before attempting to program the XMTC.

3.5 The Edit Functions Menu

To access the XMTC calibration, you must open the Edit Functions menu in the Instrument window. See Chapter 5,
Using the Instrument Menu, in the Instrument Data Manager User's Manual for more information on the Instrument
Menu. The menu consists of the five commands shown in Figure 10 below. To access a command, select it from the list
of options.
Note: While following the programming instructions, refer to Figure 51 on page 41 and Figure 52 on page 42.
Three buttons appear on the right side of all menu windows: Previous Item, Next Item/Enter, and Exit Page (see
Figure 11 on page 21):
•
Clicking on Previous Item returns you to the previous window (either the command menu or the previous
parameter entered).
•
Next Item/Enter confirms the selection or data entered, and either opens the next window or returns you to the
command menu (depending on your position in the program).
•
Exit Page returns you to the command menu.
