When the transducer receives this signal it will output its full scale voltage value plus any offset value. The voltage the transducer outputs will show on the front panel of the 3411. The full scale output voltage for the TM series transducers is 5 volts, while the TF series will output 4 volts.
Contrast The 3411 is shipped with the contrast programmed to the lowest setting in order to prolong display life. There are 3 levels of contrast, 1 is the lowest, 3 is the highest. If it is necessary to increase the contrast to improve readability, execute the following steps: 1.

The 3411 can be interfaced to a personal computer using two different methods, USB and Ethernet. Through these two interfaces, there are two methods to control the 3411. One method is through a web interface, which is only available over Ethernet. The second method is a set of Mag.NET commands, which are fully described in the next chapter.

IP ADDRESS VIEW option. (Refer to section 4.1.5.3 of the manual). If it is necessary that your 3411 use a static IP, you may use either the web interface or a set of Mag.NET commands to assign one. The web interface method is discussed in section 5.3.3, while the Mag.NET commands are...
WEB INTERFACE OPERATION To access the web interface of the 3411, you must know the IP address of your unit. Once the units IP address is know, open a web browser on any computer in the same local network as your 3411 and type the units IP into the address bar.
Magtrol Model 3411 Torque Display Chapter 5 – Computer Controlled Operation 5.3.2 dministRation ettings If desired, you may add security to protect access to the remote control panel. Just select a username and password and hit the “Turn Security On” button. This will prevent users from changing any of the unit’s settings, as well as prevent the viewing of all of the other pages.
It is now possible to remotely update the 3411’s firmware via the web interface. Just select the update file and click the change firmware button. The “Change Firmware” button will not be enabled until a valid update file has been selected. Once the update process has completed the 3411 will reboot with the new version of the firmware installed.
You may use LabVIEW or any other programming language to write a custom program using sockets to open a connection to the 3411. The unit listens on port 3411 for any incoming connections. It is beyond the scope of this manual to discuss sockets programming, however, there are examples programs implementing this technique available on the Magtrol homepage.
6. Mag.NET Commands The Mag.NET command set has been developed by Magtrol to communicate with our devices through a personal computer. All commands consist of ASCII text and are terminated by a carriage return line feed combination. In hex this is 0x0D 0x0A, or as part of a string they can be typed as “\r\n”.

The 3411 features closed-box calibration. The advantage of closed-box calibration is that the user does not have to disassemble the case or make any mechanical adjustments to the 3411. The torque readout can be calibrated using external reference sources. Correction factors for offset and gain are stored in nonvolatile memory.
