Introduction

Changing Measurement
Modes and Units
Programming with PanaView
The optional PanaView™ software package enables you to remotely
change the programming of the MMS-3. In addition to displaying
meter measurements on your PC, you can vary the modes and display
units on individual channels, and add, change or delete user equations
and user tables. You can also check the status of the meter battery and
backlight. For a complete explanation of PanaView's capabilities, see
the PanaView User's Manual (910-211).
IMPORTANT:
Before attempting to display or change programming
with the PC, be sure to install PanaView as described
in Chapter 1 of the PanaView User's Manual
(910-211).
PanaView enables you to change the measurements on the matrix
display. For example, through the PC, you can switch a line from its
original programming of measuring oxygen in parts-per-million to
new programming of measuring pressure at psig — or leave the line
entirely blank. To change meter programming:
1. From the "File" menu, click on the "New Meter Browser" option.
2. From the network tree, click on the desired communications port
(COM 1, etc.) and meter.
3. From the expanded tree, click on the "Display" option. A list of
two channels appears. Clicking on either channel opens the list of
modes (temperature, hygrometry, oxygen, etc.) and display units
currently assigned for that channel.
4. Double-clicking on any channel opens the "Meter Display"
window, shown in Figure 4-1 on page 4-2. Each individual blue
window shows the mode and unit measured in the corresponding
window on the MMS-3, with the assigned channel number in the
upper left corner. A line below indicates which page the meter is
currently displaying.
5. To scroll to a particular page, click on the left or right pointer
buttons at the bottom of the window.
Note: While each window shows the sensor and units measured, you
must click on "Text Display," from the "Output" menu, or
view the MMS-3 screen, to see the actual measurements at any
given time.
