5.0 Software Overview
Configuration, control and monitoring of the MDT-A unit is accomplished by using GMS’ optional (sold
separately) MS Windows-based MDT Configurator software program. This Graphical User Interface
(GUI) program provides the end user with a straightforward way to interface with the MDT-A. During
normal operation, once a MDL link is established, the MDT Configurator GUI does not need to be
active and can be disconnected from the MDT-A.
5.1 System Requirements
The MDT Configurator program has been developed and tested on Windows 2000, Windows XP
and Windows NT. Although the MDT 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.
