For more sophisticated programmes the USC701 can be connected to a personal computer using the COA703 connection adapter. Free configuration software is available to program the USC701 to perform the desired function.

The free configuration software USC Config contains a New Module Wizard, this wizard is used to create a USC program (module definition). The module definitions are displayed in block format on the property screen. Most common signal conditioning module types can easily be made using the new module wizard.

Previously made module definitions are stored in a single data base file on your PC and can be opened closed and copied using the file/open new menu. Module definitions can also be exchanged between system over the Internet or on floppy disk using the file/import/export commands.

USC Config 105 has pre-made linearization tables that are selected automatically when measuring temperatures from thermocouples and RTD’s however custom tables can easily be created and stored within the one USC Program.

The equation editor is used to customise the functionality of the USC701. Math functions, branching commands and update time create a powerful and versatile tool.

While the equation editor creates complex functions usually there are one or two variables within the equation that you wish the end user to have easy access to. This is accomplished by creating a configurable user interface.
