Using ViewRTU	TankGate Interface

•Double-click on the icon to execute the ViewRTU application.

If more than one TankGate definition file (DVR) exists, the following dialog box is displayed.

Figure 6-1: ViewRTU Version Selection dialog

Each version file contains setup information that matches the firmware in the TankGate. This information allows a single version of ViewRTU to configure multiple versions of the TankGate. For example, MSTG1_00.DVR is a definition file that is compatible with TankGate firmware version 1.00. Select the version that matches the version of firmware in the TankGate. Note that you can determine the firmware version by viewing the SysVer parameter of the SYS point.

•Choose the desired version and select OK.

If only one TankGate definition file (DVR) exists, the main window appears instead. The main window is seen below.

When the ViewRTU program is opened, a new file appears in the window. The components of this window are explained below.
