Pr
elude :
The CONCAL software provides communication with the TXDIN101 transmitter for setting its configuration. The parameters to be configured are - sensor type, measurement range, display reading etc.
2.
Establishing the
Communication :
The TXDIN101 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.
New Configuration:
In order to set/change the unit’s configuration, the configuration window must be open.
Page 6
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 :
This tab is the unit's ID.
It consists of two fields:
Serial Number - The unit’s serial number, which is set by the factory and can not
be altered.
Tag Name - This field is a 19 character alphanumeric string which can be set by
the operator and be altered any time.
In order to change the contents of the tag name field, first click the ‘Change’ button.
Clicking the ‘Change’ button opens up a text field icon which the proper tag name can be inserted.
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.

Page 11
4.3.1. Input Range:
The input range field enables the operator to specify the measurements range for the transmitter.
Clicking the ‘Change’ button opens up text fields for the minimum and maximum 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 TXDIN101 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.
Note: The Min or Max is to be understood as the output current at the minimum or
maximum input range points.
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).
Page 12

Configuration Save:
The configuration save procedure can be accomplished by ether of the 2 following
Page 14
methods:
• The “Save” button.
or
• Select “Save” option from the File menu.
The file should be saved in a dedicated folder.
6.
Updating
The
Unit :

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 TXDIN101 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.
Page 17
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 TXDIN101 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 TXDIN101 to its original calibration select the “Clear Corrections” from the "Configuration" menu.
Page 18
The “Updating…” window appears on the screen. (The same as the one appears during the updating process).

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.
8.2 Print
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.
4
Note that this feature starts automatically if the operator tries to correct sensors’ error, when there is already other previous configuration of sensors’ error. On any case, before the process starts the system let the operator decide whether to continue or to stay with the present configuration.
Page 19
Commencing 1 of the 2 options would open a standard windows printing window :
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. Cancel - Retrieves the previous configuration.
