Operating Instructions

Description

The PC COMM Tool is a Microsoft® Windows®-compatible software
program that is used for confi guration and programming of the Signet 9900
SmartPro™ transmitter using the Signet PC COMM hardware and software.

The software allows the user to select various parameters, enter data,
and interact with the 9900 transmitter via the computer with the same
access as a user has from the 9900’s front panel. Certain parameters
(such as calibration) cannot be changed because access to external
sensors is required.

The PC COMM software allows the user to save the 9900 confi guration
data into a computer fi le and upload a previously stored confi guration data
fi le into the 9900 transmitter.
