Before You Begin

Using ProLink II

Flowmeter Startup

6.Start ProLink II software. From the Connection menu, click on Connect to Device. In the screen that appears, specify connection parameters appropriate to your connection:

For service port mode, set Protocol to Service Port, and set COM port to the appropriate value for your PC. Baud rate, Stop bits, and Parity are set to standard values and cannot be changed. See Table 2-1.

For RS-485 mode, set the connection parameters to the values configured in your transmitter. See Table 2-1.
