— — Overview  3 Overview INTRODUCTION ConfigXP provides an easy way to customize your gauge (DTG, XP2, or XP2i). With only a serial cable (P/N: 2400, or equivalent*), a computer running Windows, and the ConfigXP program you can: • • • • • • View and print an as receive versus as left change report Load and save custom configurations Return the gauge to factory configuration Select pressure units (e.g.

Operating Instructions  4 — Operating Instructions INSTALLATION ConfigXP is distributed as a self-extracting Setup application. Launch ConfigXPSetup.exe and follow the on-screen prompts. If the program was provided on CD, run the SETUP.EXE from the ConfigXP folder and follow the on-screen prompts. The first time you start ConfigXP, you must select the communications port to be used.

Settings  5 — Settings Settings are arranged in groups; GAUGE IDENTITY The only user setting is the “message store” – all other information is programmed by the factory. Store information specific to an individual gauge in the Message store text box. • • • • • • • S/N: The serial number as reported by the gauge. Model: Model of the gauge (not available on older models). Range: The pressure range of the gauge, reported in psi regardless of the default unit.

— Settings  6 PEAK BUTTON OPTIONS Use the Peak button options to control how peaks and averaging are displayed. • • Enable Peaks: When unchecked this prevents the display of Peak High or Peak Low. This does not affect averaging, if available. Enable Averaging: When unchecked this prevents the display of average pressures. The edit field next to this check box controls the number of samples to be used to calculate an average pressure reading. This number can be between 1 and 10.

— Settings  7 ZERO BUTTON OPTIONS Use the Zero button options to adjust the pressure the gauge reads as zero. • — Zero Limit: By default, all gauges come pre-programmed with a 20 psi maximum zero limit. This means that you can apply pressure (up to 20 psi) to the gauge, press the (zero) button, and the gauge will read zero. In some situations it may be desirable to increase or decrease the maximum pressure that the gauge could be set to read zero pressure.

— Settings  8 UNITS BUTTON OPTIONS Select the pressure units you need, and turn off the pressure units you never use (at least one unit must be selected). Use the Unit button options to control which units the pressure gauge will display. • Default Unit: The pressure unit displayed after a reset, and the unit used when in datalogging mode.

Settings  9 Using the User Units Wizard The User Units Wizard operates in two modes: Linear Fit or Tank Level. Both modes calculate an optimum User Factor and User Offset.  The Linear Fit tab The Linear Fit tab allows you to quickly calculate the best User Factor and User Offset by entering actual measurements and the corresponding desired reading for each measurement.

Settings  10  The Tank Level tab The Tank Level tab allows you to setup the gauge as a height or percent of capacity indicator for a tank or reservoir by entering in a few basic measurements. The tank level assumes the fluid density is constant, and that the fluid is not compressible. You will need the following information: • • • • • Desired units to be displayed on gauge (feet, meters, % of capacity, etc.). If % of capacity is chosen, you will also need the height of the tank.

— — Settings  11 CALIBRATION OPTIONS • Userspan: Usually set to 1 at the factory, and used to adjust the gauge for component aging. All readings are multiplied by this number. For instance, if the readings are low by 0.1%, set this number to 1.001 to correct the readings (1.001 is equivalent to 100.1%). • Disable Keypad Userspan: Checking this box prevents calibration adjustments using the keypad, only. This does not affect the ability to change the userspan value with ConfigXP.

— Settings  12 PASSWORD PROTECTION The password protection feature of the gauge allows you to prevent unauthorized changes to the gauge configuration by setting a four digit password. Once the password is set you will not be able to make any changes to the gauge through ConfigXP without the password. In addition, any functions within the — — gauge itself that can be accessed by the keypad or serial interface, such as water reference select or userspan adjustment, will be disabled.

— Settings  13 LANGUAGE SELECTION ConfigXP supports alternate languages for the user interface. Some languages are available directly from the Crystal Engineering web site, while others can be obtained directly from your local Crystal Engineering distributor. To choose an alternate language, click the Language button to open the Select Language dialog box. You must use the version of ConfigXP included with the language file.

Support  14 — — — Support TROUBLESHOOTING Firmware Revision Dependencies Some older versions of the firmware do not fully support all of the features provided in ConfigXP. A known issue exists with disabling units which may cause the unit to only operate in psi mode even if that unit is not selected. To prevent this problem, simply select psi or kgf/cm2 as one of the units and the gauge should work properly. CONTACT US Phone . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
