DDMC Meter View Software
The easiest and quickest way to program your meter
is to use the FREE DDMC Meter View programming
software. This software is loaded into the meter and
connects and installs directly to your PC with the USB
cable provided. DO NOT use a different USB cable.
We recommend that the first thing you do after taking
the meter out of the box is connect the meter to your
PC with the provided USB cable. DO NOT apply AC
or DC power to the meter while your PC is connected
to the meter as it will disrupt the USB connection. It is
not necessary to apply an input signal.
DDMC Meter View programming software is intuitive,
and most customers can get their meter programmed
as they like without even looking in the manual.
DDMC Meter View Installation
1.
Connect one end of the provided USB cable
to the meter and the other end to the
computer. The computer will automatically
install the driver software it needs to talk to
the meter. Follow the on-screen instructions
and allow sufficient time for the process to
complete. This can take a few minutes. If the
process is interrupted, then it could leave the
system in an unstable condition.
Only one meter may be connected at a time.

Attaching multiple meters will cause a conflict
with the meter software.

Otherwise, click "Configure" to begin
