Introduction

The PC-Configuration software (PCS45) allows the configuration of different types of MTL temperature converters and pulse isolator modules using a PC running a Windows® operating system (98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, Vista, Win7, or Win8).  Data is transferred between the PC and the modules via the PC-link PCL45USB.

Different parameters can be configured, for example sensor type, measuring range and alarm signals.  These can then be saved and used to download duplicate configurations.

For diagnostic purposes the software allows the user to look at the input and output values or monitor parameters over a period of time e.g.  The output can be set to various currents, without affecting the input, allowing the safe area equipment to be checked or calibrated.

Operating PCS45 in demo mode maintains all the functionality of the software but requires no connection to an interface module.

Note that, for simplicity, in many cases MTLx500 references (e.g. MTLx573) are made to indicate that they are equally applicable to the MTL4500 and MTL5500 series as well.
