2.1 FOREWORD
The programming software allows connection of an MCP4 module to a PC via a serial
port RS232.
This software greatly facilitates and speeds up operations regarding adjustment of setup
parameters as well as performance check of the power factor correction panel. It is also a
very useful tool in trouble shooting as all the measurements and size can be easily
checked by the operator.
Above all, the following functions are available:
Graphic display of all measurements provided by the instrument with numeric
−
