MC-III™ EXP Flow Analyzer Section 4
Section 4—Conguration and Operation via Software
The MC-III™ interface software provides easy access to all conguration parameters and is the quickest
way to congure the device. While basic parameters can be congured with the keypad (see Section 3), the
interface software is the only means of accessing every congurable parameter. For example, multipoint
calibration for liquid or gas measurement and gas volume correction parameters for measuring gas in standard
cubic feet are congurable only with the interface software.
Table 4.1, page 55, provides a quick reference for conguration methods.
Installing the Software
The MC-III interface software is stored on a CD that is shipped with each instrument, and it installs directly
