CDi-Comm full or half duplex, error checked, communication software - Y2K Ready new
The visual communication interface makes the job of setting individual channel control ranges and alarm ranges very easy for the user. Each input channel can be “software tied” to an output to form a control loop. Important note: Although the software is screen resolution-independent, its power cannot be appreciated when used on low-res monitors. We recommend using a minimum 1024x768 resolution.
dotVisual, "gauge" interface, allows the ultimate in simplicity of use. Allows user to dynamically configure gauge scale, normal and alarm ranges.
dotBulletproof communications protocol. Over 40 individual commands are combined in many ways, to produce a master-slave communications link. Error checking is accomplished by the redundant nature of the Xmodem protocol.
dotSupports all Windows serial ports and USB ports with external adapter.
dotComprehensive realtime display. When the unit is in realtime mode, all values are displayed in realtime (every two seconds or so). Status information (top left in picture) updates in realtime.
dotField upgradeable. When it is time to upgrade or change the firmware, simply upload the supplied binary file to the unit.
dotRemote calibration. This means there are no potentiometers to turn. Record the minimum and maximum values for a particular input range, and the unit takes care of the rest.
dotVisual calibration. Drag a needle to the desired value, and pick the "cal" command from the context menu. Presto! the channel is calibrated!

1.Status Info. Shows info on the overall status of the controller such as used memory, free memory, recording interval, etc. 2. Low and High Alarm Range. Shows or changes the minimum and maximum values that will generate an alarm, if this range is exceeded. 3. Normal Control Range. Shows or changes the minimum and maximum points for the "normal" range (6.9 to 7.1) in this example.
4. Channel Identification Label. This is a user programmable label that identifies the channel. 5. Channel Type Label. Identifies the type of input Channel. This can be Temp, pH, DO, etc. 6. Channel Unit Label. Identifies the unit for a channel. This can be DegC, DegF, ppm, mg/l, etc.
7. Output Control. Associates the output channel to an input, to form a control loop. 8. LED Output Indicators. Displays the realtime status of all eight outputs 9. LED Alarm Indicators. Display the realtime alarm status of all channels.
10. Communication activity Indicator. Shows serial port activity (sending, receiving, waiting) in realtime. 11. Command Buttons. Click here to initiate user actions such as setting unit time,download, etc. 12. Network Address Selection. View the system structure and select a controller for communication.
