PACTware Software Startup

You can adjust all VEGA, 2-wire HART devices using a Windows PC. To
complete this adjustment, you need the configuration software PACTware™ and
a suitable instrument driver (DTM) according to the FDT standard. In addition, you
can also integrate the VEGA DTMs in other frame applications according to the
FDT standard. For a connection, either the interface converter VEGACONNECT
or a USB is required. A basic understanding of PACTware and VEGA DTMs is
required to properly configure the Remote Display Systems.
Follow these steps to start the PACTware software:
To open PACTware, complete one of the following:

available, refer to the PACTware online help. Both of these
items will guide you through the steps for setting up the
