INSTALLATION
Confi gXP is distributed as a self-extracting Setup application. Launch Confi gXPSetup.exe and follow the on-screen prompts. If the program was provided on
CD, run the SETUP.EXE from the Confi gXP folder and follow the on-screen prompts.
The fi rst time you start Confi gXP, you must select the communications port to be used. From the drop down box under the Connect button and choose Auto
to have Confi gXP automatically detect your gauge, or select an appropriate COM port for your computer.
Select a port to connect to an XP2i pressure gauge.
Click the Connect button to establish connection to your gauge. If an error is displayed, check cables and verify that the gauge is operating. If you continue to
have problems, verify that you can send basic commands, such as “?VER” over the serial connection using a program such as HyperTerminal to connect to the
unit.
If the connection is successful Confi gXP displays information retrieved from the gauge, such as the serial and model number, etc., and the current confi gura-
tion of the gauge. Make any changes desired then click the Update Gauge button to commit those changes to the gauge.
The Update Gauge button commits your confi guration changes.
Changes take eff ect immediately, except on some older gauges.
If you have more that one gauge to be customized, click the Disconnect button , connect the serial cable to the next gauge to be customized and then click
the Connect button . If no further changes are necessary, click the Close button to exit Confi gXP.
