PART 5 - SOFTWARE UTILITY
Note: Outputs are disabled when the meter is connected to a computer through the software
utility.
Introduction
In addition to the keypad entry programming, the flow meter can be used with
a software utility. The software utility is used for configuring, calibrating and
communicating with the meter. Additionally, it has numerous troubleshooting tools
to make diagnosing and correcting installation problems easier. Hard-wire a PC to a
flow meter through a standard USB connection.
System Requirements
The software requires a PC-type computer running Windows 98, Windows ME,
Windows 2000, Windows NT, Windows XP, Windows Vista®, or Windows 7 operating
systems and a USB communications port.
Installation
1. From the Windows "Start" button choose the Run command. From the "Run"
dialog box use the Browse button to navigate to the USP_Setup.exe file and
double-click.
2. The USP Setup automatically extracts and installs on the hard disk. The USP icon
can then be copied to the desktop, if desired.
Note: If a previous version of this software is installed, un-install it before installing the new
version. Newer versions "ask" to remove the old version and perform the task automatically. Older
versions must be removed using the Microsoft Windows® Add/Remove Programs applet.
Initialization
1. Connect the B end of the USB A/B communications cable to the USB
communication port on the meter and the A end to a convenient USB port on the
computer.
Note: It is advisable to have the meter powered up prior to running this software.
Note: While the USB cable is connected to a computer, the RS-485 and frequency outputs are
disabled.
2. Double-click on the USP icon. The first screen is the "RUN" mode screen (see Figure
5.1), which contains real-time information regarding flow rate, totals, signal
strength, communications status, and the flow meter's serial number. The COMM
indicator in the lower right-hand corner indicates that the serial connection is
active. If the COMM box contains a red ERROR, click on the Communications button
on the Menu bar and select Initialize. Choose the appropriate COM port and the
RS-232/USB Com Port Type. A green "OK" in the lower right-hand corner of the PC
display and verifies proper communication. The "Last Update" indicator in the text
area on the left side of the screen changes from red to an active clock indication.
