SOFTWARE FUNCTIONS
CONFIGURING THE PORT
When you start Win-Situ or Pocket-Situ for the first time, a new, empty
site called “Home” is displayed at the top of the Navigation tree. The
Connection Wizard starts automatically to help you add a connection
to the site, specifying your computer’s COM port, desired baud rate,
and other port properties.
To add a new connection to the site—or if the Connection Wizard does
not start automatically for some reason—proceed as follows:
1. Select the site.
2. Click or tap Add....
To change the properties of a connection:
1. Select the connection.
2. Click or tap Edit....
To delete a connection from the site:
1. Select the connection.
2. Click or tap Delete.
For additional information on the port properties prompted by the Con-
nection Wizard, refer to
Section 3, Getting Started .
ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATION WITH THE MP TROLL 9500
New Connection
The last option in the Connection Wizard is to Connect and find de-
vices on “Finish.” If you select this option, the software will automati-
cally establish communication with the MP TROLL 9500.
If you did not select this option, proceed as for an existing connection .
Existing Connection
Each time you launch the software, the site and the connection saved
in your last session are displayed in the Navigation tree. To connect:
1. Select the connection.
2. Click Find. Or just double-click the connection.
Win-Situ or Pocket-Situ will open the connection, synchronize the
baud rate, locate the device, and display it in the Navigation tree.
3. Click to select the MP TROLL 9500 in the Navigation tree.
If the device’s remaining battery capacity is 5% or less, the
device may not be displayed in the tree. Replace the
batteries before continuing.
DISPLAYING DEVICE INFORMATION
When you select the MP TROLL 9500 in the Navigation tree, the soft-
ware first retrieves information about the device, then automatically
detects the installed sensors and displays them in the tree.
TIP: If one or more sensors is incorrectly installed, an error
message will be displayed. Simply remove the sensor and
install it in the correct position, then “refresh” the device to
display the sensors in the Parameters list.
With the MP TROLL selected in the Navigation tree, the Information
pane displays a wealth of information about the device, as shown in
the Win-Situ screen on the following page. You may need to scroll to
view all the information in Pocket-Situ.
