• Force Output and Test Input functions: Allow installers to specifically test I/O for site setup assistance.
• Ability to swap modules without indicator recalibration.

Software and Connectivity

View400: Fast Efficient Indicator Setup via PC

View400 allows for the complete menu structure of the indicator to be displayed on a PC with convenient drop-down menus. It enables users to:

• Enter custom print strings.
• Set up the indicator, save configurations and calibrations for maintenance, or load the RIS file onto multiple indicators.
• Create real-time graphs from log data for diagnostics.

A visual representation of a real-time graph from log data is shown, illustrating data points over time (Tina in seconds).

Save400: Reading and Writing Indicator Setup

Save400 is a software tool for reading and writing R400 indicator setup and configuration. It allows for exporting and importing setups for updates.

rinLINK for Establishing a Temporary PC Connection

The rinLINK provides an isolated optical serial connection directly on the front of the indicator, magnetically coupled for easy in-situ access for updates and setup. It can be used to download new firmware or connect to a PC running Viewer for indicator configuration.

Lua Programmability

The R420 indicators support Lua scripting with an accessory module, enhancing functionality through a range of application packages. The open-source library and comprehensive API allow users to write their own applications or engage Rinstrum through their Lua MAX program. An embedded web server can be used to create browser-based user interfaces.
