Configuring aTRY/TRX
One of the benefits of the TRY and TRX transmitters is
their easy-to-use PC Configuration Program; there are
no internal or external controls to adjust or jumpers
to change. All operating parameters are set using
the PC program included with each shipment. These
settings are downloaded in the form of a Configuration
File into nonvolatile unit memory (EEPROM) over a
connection between the PC’s serial (COM) port and a
COM port on the transmitter.
This section of the manual contains instructions for
configuring the TRY or TRX:

What is First
First, it is necessary to install the Configuration
Program on a PC. Once the program is loaded and
running, nearly all of the operating parameters for the
connected transmitter are shown on a single screen
(see Figure 3). This makes it easy to determine which
aspects of transmitter operation need to be changed
to suit the application requirements.
What is Next
Once the Configuration Program is installed on the
PC, the TRY or TRX can be connected to equipment
to simulate input and monitor output, and with the PC
program, the user can view and/or change its
operating parameters.
NoTransmitter Needed
It is not necessary to connect the TRY or TRX to a PC
to create configuration files. The Configuration
Program can be run without connecting a transmitter,
and most operating parameters can be set without
benefit of input from a sensor or from a transmitter.
This makes it easy to create a set of operating
parameters, save them to disk, and download them to
one or more transmitters at a later time.
Note, however, that not all parameters can be set
without a transmitter. In some cases, a source of input
is also required.
The transmitter must be connected to the PC in
order to:
• TrimInput
• TrimOutput
• AssignaTag
• PerformaLoopTest
• Receive(viadownload)aCongurationFile
And, perhaps most importantly...
• SAVETHECONFIGURATIONFILEALREADYIN
