Configuring the MTL838C

The MTL838C must first be configured using software on a PC and the USB

connection.  This configures things such as the slave address and communication

parameters.  After the initial configuration, the MTL838C is ready to communicate

with the Modbus host.  At this point, the remaining configuration may be done in

one of two ways:

• on-line via the Modbus link, direct from the host

• off-line using the PC software and USB connection

Using the PC software is required for initial configuration and recommended for

first time configuration of the measuring channels

Off-line Configuration

Off-line configuration requires the use of the PC software briefly described below.

Once configured, the configuration parameters are stored in non-volatile memory

within the MTL838C.
