Software can program dual-line display panel meter
Red Lion Controls
Crimson 2.0 software
Red Lion Controls has announced that the newest release of free Crimson 2.0 software can now be used to simply program the company's dual-line display panel meter, PAX2A.
Adding to the easy front-panel key programming already possible with the PAX2A, users can now also program the meter with simple mouse clicks and drop-down menus via the built-in USB port.
Eight simple programming windows guide users through various parameters, such as input set-up, display format and output format.
The program file can be saved on a computer, facilitating easy recall at a later date.
Users can also extract and save an existing program from a meter.
The program can then be downloaded to other meters, making duplicate setups simple and fast.
The PAX2A meter features two lines for displaying input, total, minimum, maximum and/or setpoints.
The main display - a 0.7in-high, six-digit LCD line - can be set to red, orange and green colours, which can be tied to the setpoints to deliver visual indication of changing application conditions.
The second line, a 0.35in-high nine-digit green LCD, also provides visual indication of one of the application parameters.
