Pr

elude :

The CONCAL software provides communication with the TX69 transmitter for
setting its configuration. The parameters to be configured are - sensor type,
measurement range, display reading etc.

2.

Establishing the

Communication :

The TX69 communicates via USB ports.

When the unit is connected to any of the USB ports, the software automatically
searches the connected port in order to communicate thru.

In case that the selected USB port is other than the one the software remembers, it
will search the new one and it might take several seconds.

There are three ways to set the communication:

• Click the “Start” button from the Toolbar

• Select “Connect Unit” from the

Connect

on the menu line.

• Type Ctrl+C

The communication procedure consists of several steps:

1. Identification of the connected unit

2. Import of the existing configuration

3. Monitoring of the unit's current measurements

Two windows will be opened:

• "Connected Unit Configuration" - Displays the present configuration

• "Present Reading" - The measurements are displayed at 1-3

seconds rate.

3

3.

New Configuration:

In order to set/change the unit’s configuration, the configuration window must be
open.

There are two ways configure the unit:

• Opening "New Configuration" window

• Opening of present configuration window

In both ways the same window is reached but the information is different.

3.1. Open "New Configuration" Window :

• The “New Configuration” button.

Or

• Select “New Configuration” option from the "Configuration" tab.

3.2 Open Existing Configuration :

Click the “Open Configuration” button.

or

• Select “Open Configuration” option from the Configuration menu.

The file containing previous configurations will appear. Double click on the required
file and the configuration box will appear containing the required configuration.

Structur

e of

The Configuration

W

indow :

The configuration window contains four tabs:

4.1 General Information Tab

4.2 Sensor Tab

4.3 Input / Output Tab

4.4 Set-Up Tab

4.1. General Tab :

points of the range.

2

At the end of the updating procedure, the following options are
available:

Done - Saves the new contents of the field.
Cancel - Retrieves the previous configuration.

Exceeding the maximum specified value for a specific sensor will generate
announcement and prevent setting that range.

After selecting one of the two options, the tab returns to its original form. Any
changes within the field make the field’s header to turn red helping the operator to
recognize the changes.

4.3.2. Output range:

The output range field enables setting the TX69 current output.

The configuration can be any pair of values between 4 to 20 or 20 to 4 mA.

3

In order to set this field, click the ‘Change’ button.

Clicking the ‘Change’ button opens up text fields for the minimum and maximum
points of the output range.

2

For Potentiometer type sensors, the ‘Change’ button is unavailable

since the range is constant: 0% - 100%.

3

It is possible to determine the current’s modification with an increasing value or decreasing value

(example: 4-20mA or 20-4mA).

9

Note: The Min or Max is to be understood as the output current at the minimum or

maximum input range points.

At the end of the updating procedure, the following options are
available:

Done - Saves the new contents of the field.

Corr

ections

:

This feature allows the operator to change the factory calibration.

This function is useful to set a probe-transmitter calibrated pair or set a matched
balance between several measuring points.

There are two types of user changes:

• Offset correction

• Slope correction

7.1 Offset Corrections

For cases when the TX69 output differs by a fix (offset) error throughout the entire
span, select the “Offset Correction” option from the "Configuration" menu:

The accurate value should be entered.

14

At the end of the updating procedure, the following options are
available:

Done - Saves the new contents of the field.
Cancel - Retrieves the previous configuration.

7.2 Slope Correction

For cases when the TX69 should match a different sensor behavior than the standard
sensor's table, select the “Slope Correction” option from the "Configuration" menu:

First set the input to the low point measurement, and then enter the desired reading –
press "Enter". Then set the input to the high point measurement, and then enter the
desired reading – press "Enter"

At the end of the updating procedure, the following options are available:

Done - Saves the new contents of the field.
Cancel - Retrieves the previous configuration.

Clear Corrections:

In order to erase all the corrections and bring the TX69 to its original calibration
select the “Clear Corrections” from the "Configuration" menu.

The “Updating…” window appears on the screen. (The same as the one appears
during the updating process).

Note that this feature starts automatically if the operator tries to correct sensors’ error, when there is

already other previous configuration of sensors’ error.

15

8. ADDITIONAL FEATURES :

8.1 Resetting The Extreme Measurements :

The Min and Max Readings display the process extreme measurements. This function
is operational only when the unit is not connected to the PC.

Pressing the "Reset" button, clears the reading.

The “Updating…” window appears on the screen.

At the end of the resetting process, the “Min Reading” and “Max Reading” fields
contains extreme readout of -20000 and +20000.

The system provides the operator to keep an hardcopy archive containing the different
configurations defined by the operator.

There are 2 different types of printing:

• Print Connected Unit’s Configuration - Prints the configuration of

the connected unit.

• Print Edited Unit’s Configuration - Prints the contains of the

Configuration window.

Commencing 1 of the 2 options would open a standard windows printing window :

On any case, before the process starts the system let the operator decide whether to continue or to stay
with the present configuration.

16

In this window the operator can define a few options:

Selecting the printer that will print the configuration.
Selecting between printing on paper or directly to a file.
Defining how many copies to print.

At the end of the updating procedure, the following options are
available:

Done - Saves the new contents of the field.
