The WDG-V Analyzer has two available interface options that can be used
to communicate with the analyzer: The PC Configurator Software and the
AMEVision Display User Interface. These interface options cannot be connected
to the analyzer at the same time.
Installing the PC Configurator Software (Typical
Communication Option)
The WDG-V PC Configurator Software comes standard with the analyzer and
provides a convenient way to configure, calibrate, and monitor a single WDG-V
Analyzer. The WDG-V is connected to the PC using a two-wire MODBUS RTU
interface.
If you are using the AMEVision Display User Interface to communicate
with the WDG-V Analyzer, skip this section and continue with "Install-
ing the AMEVision Display User Interface (Secondary Communication
Option)" later in this chapter.
Install the PC Configurator Software on a PC, as instructed in
the WDG-V PC Configurator Software User Manual (AMETEK
PN 9000-231 VE), and then continue with setting the analyzer address,
below.
Setting the Analyzer Address Using the Dip Switch (to
Enable Communications Between the Analyzer and the PC

The address on the WDG-V analyzer is set using the dip switch on the front of the
Sensor board. When connecting a single analyzer, the address is "1".
