Using ADView and ProLink II
4.1 Using ADView software
4.1.1 What is ADView?
ADView is a software package provided by Micro Motion to enable you to:
• Configure our density and viscosity meters.
• View and save data from them.
• Check that they are functioning correctly.
ADView is installed on a PC and interacts with the density/viscosity meter through one of the PC’s
standard serial (RS-232) ports.
ADView requires Microsoft’s Windows operating system: Windows 3.1, 95, 98, NT, 2000 or XP.
Note: To connect to an RS-485/Modbus device, such as the meter, you will need an adapter between
the PC and the meter (see Electrical Connections chapter).
ADView provides many useful facilities, such as:
• Setting up serial link to communicate with the meter
• Configuring the meter
• Displaying data in real time, or as a graph
• Logging data to a file
• Verifying correct operation of the system, and diagnosing faults
• Loading or storing Modbus register values
• Read/write to individual Modbus registers.
4.1.2 Installing ADView
ADView software is available for the PC on a variety of media (for example, CD-ROM) and is freely
available to download from the Micro Motion web site (at www.micromotion.com).
1. Identify the media containing the installation files for ADView.
2. Insert the media into an appropriate drive on your PC.
3. If the installation program does not begin automatically, run the set-up ‘.exe’ file that is on the
media. This does vary between different PC operating systems. In general, open the File
Manager or Windows Explorer, browse the drive containing the media and double-click on the
set-up ‘.exe’.)
