MTEK6000 SERIES USER'S MANUAL

Software

Important Note: pcGas Meter Reader, pcGas Host and pcGas Customer Monitor applications are DOS based programs. They are available for a one-time charge but are sold ‘as is’ and are not being changed or upgraded in any way by Metretek. While these programs may be of value to certain users, Metretek makes no warranty as to their performance. Metretek strongly encourages the use of the MTEKManager and DC2000 32 bit Windowstm applications.

pcGas Meter Reader Software

pcGas Meter Reader is a flexible, yet simple software package that allows personnel responsible for site-specific configuration or data collection to conveniently interact with the unit. pcGas Meter Reader can be purchased to interface with the unit, but does not replace pcGas Host software; a user cannot use it to download processes to an MTEK6000 with blank system memory. However, it does allow a convenient method of viewing and/or modifying general site- specific database information (most of which are shown in Appendix A).

Trend Graphics, and AutoPoll are standard features with pcGas Meter Reader. Manuals for Meter Reader and Meter Reader Utilities are provided with each registered copy of the program. Refer to these manuals for additional information.

pcGas Meter Utility Package

•Site I.D. Changer - View or change the Site I.D. stored in the device.

•Label Changer - View and change label and function key definitions.

• Virtual Keypad - Emulates the

keypad in the MTEK6000 products. Can be used for configuration and calibration.

pcGas Customer Monitor

pcGas Customer Monitor lets personnel responsible for collecting data to conveniently interact with the unit. No data can be modified in the unit with this software - it only provides a convenient method of viewing and reading history data stored in the unit.

MTEK Manager

The MTEK Manager software is an integrated group of utilities designed for configuration and management of the MTEK6000 corrector as well as the AE5000/6000 product lines. The software utilizes MS Access™ compatible databases for all of its data, and is suitable for managing small groups of correctors.

Mtek Manager is licensed for end-use pursuant to Metretek’s standard licensing fees and terms. This package has all the features of the basic package, but adds the ability to retrieve, view, and print the historical data from the correctors.

It also adds the ability to perform remote access using a dialup phone system. Included is an auto-polling application that can be used to schedule polls to the configured stations, as well as answer incoming calls. Data export to DC2000™ can also be automated after data is collected.
