7.0 Software Overview
Configuration, control and monitoring of the MDT-B unit are done by using GMS’ optional (sold
separately) MS Windows-based MDL_B Configurator software program. This Graphical User Interface
(GUI) program provides the end user with a straightforward way to interface with the MDT-B unit.
During normal operation, once a MDL-B link is established, the MDL_B Configurator GUI does not need
to be active and can be disconnected from the MDT-B unit.
7.1 System Requirements
The MDL_B Configurator program has been developed and tested on Windows 2000, Windows XP
and Windows NT. Although the MDL_B Configurator program may work properly on other
operating systems, only the Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows NT environments have
been used at GMS and no support or assistance can be provided concerning other operating
systems.
