5.2 IQ Series Configurator Software
Note
The IQ Series Configurator Software is provided free of charge. This
enables low-cost configuration of IQ Series thermometers using an RS485
physical connection.
AMETEK Land recommends the use of USB to RS485 Connection Kit (Part
Nº 806370) for computers without an RS485 port.
These instructions detail how to install and use the IQ Series Configurator
Software. This allows an IQ Series thermometer to be configured from any
laptop or PC having an RS485 connection.
1)
Insert the IQ series CD into the drive on your computer.
If the software does not run automatically, open the My Computer
2)
utility on your PC and double-click on the Setup.exe file listed in the CD
contents.
3)
Follow and confirm the Wizard prompts to install the software. An IQ
Series icon is automatically placed on the Desktop when installation is
successful.
4)
Double-click the IQ Series icon on the Desktop to start the Configurator
software. The Home page is displayed by default.
Note
If 'Live Data' is not displayed (greyed out), check that the laptop/PC
comms and the thermometer comms are synchronised. Also check that the
thermometer is connected correctly.
If 'Live Data' is 'greyed out';
1)
Select the Comms menu option.
2)
From the Comms drop-down menu, set the following:
•
Serial Port - serial port connecting laptop/PC and thermometer, default
set to 1
•
Baud Rate - data transfer rate between thermometer and laptop/PC.
Ensure that this is set to 57600 (default).
•
Address - the configurator address (1 to 254), default set to 1
•
1 to 1 (Address 0) - used when only one IQ Series thermometer is
connected to the RS485 port
Note
The 1 to 1 (Address 0) mode must not be used if more than one IQ
thermometer is connected to the RS485 port.
The 1 to 1 mode enables communication with the thermometer, regardless of
the unreasonable thermometer address.
Where multiple thermometers are to be connected to a shared RS485 bus, the
instruments should first be configured separately and given a unique address,
so that each thermometer on the shared bus will have a separate address.
