ConfigXP provides an easy way to customize your gauge (DTG, XP2, or XP2i). With only a serial cable (P/N: 2400, or equivalent12), a computer running Windows, and the ConfigXP program you can: • View and print an as receive versus as left change report • Load and save custom configurations • Return the gauge to factory configuration • Select pressure units (e.g., disable inches Hg, if you never use this scale) • Adjust (calibrate) the gauge • Identify firmware version Note: DTGs require an RS-232 interface adapter kit (P/N: 2746). ConfigXP User's Manual Some features are dependant on the model...

Operating Instructions INSTALLATION ConfigXP is distributed as a self-extracting Setup application. Launch ConfigXPSetup.exe and follow the on-screen prompts. If the program was provided on CD, run the SETUP.EXE from the ConfigXP folder and follow the on-screen prompts. The first time you start ConfigXP, you must select the communications port to be used. From the drop down box under the Connect button and choose Auto to have ConfigXP automatically detect your gauge, or select an appropriate COM port for your computer. Select a port to connect to an XP2i pressure gauge. Click the Connect button...

Settings are arranged in groups; The only user setting is the "message store" — all other information is programmed by the factory. Gauge Identity Range: 30 P5I Datalogger Enabled: Yes Message Store: Store information specific to an individual gauge in the Message store text box. • S/N: The serial number as reported by the gauge. • Model: Model of the gauge (not available on older models). • Range: The pressure range of the gauge, reported in psi regardless of the default unit. • Firmware Version: The firmware version of the gauge. • Datalogger Enabled: Indicates if the gauge is enabled for data...

PEAK BUTTON OPTIONS Use the Peak button options to control how peaks and averaging are displayed. Enable Peaks: When unchecked this prevents the display of Peak High or Peak Low. This does not affect averaging, if available. Enable Averaging: When unchecked this prevents the display of average pressures. The edit field next to this check box controls the number of samples to be used to calculate an average pressure reading. This number can be between 1 and 10. Not available on all models. Enable Rate: When unchecked this prevents the display of pressure rate. The edit field next to this check...

ZERO BUTTON OPTIONS Use the Zero button options to adjust the pressure the gauge reads as zero. Zero Limit: By default, all gauges come pre-programmed with a 20 psi maximum zero limit. This means that you can apply pressure (up to 20 psi) to the gauge, press the (zero) button, and the gauge will read zero. In some situations it may be desirable to increase or decrease the maximum pressure that the gauge could be set to read zero pressure. It’s also possible to disable the (zero) button entirely by setting a zero Limit of negative (-)15 psi. Enable TARE: Enabling the TARE mode allows the second...

UNITS BUTTON OPTIONS Select the pressure units you need, and turn off the pressure units you never use (at least one unit must be selected). Use the Unit button options to control which units the pressure gauge will display. Default Unit: The pressure unit displayed after a reset, and the unit used when in datalogging mode. (Reset occurs when the batteries are changed, when an !RST command is sent to the gauge over the serial port or, on older units, when the calibration settings are changed.) Water Density: From the dropdown menu, select 4 °C (39.2 °F), 15.6 °C (60 °F), or 20 °C (68 °F). Affects...

Using the User Units Wizard The User Units Wizard operates in two modes: Linear Fit or Tank Level. Both modes calculate an optimum User Factor and User Offset.  The Linear Fit tab The Linear Fit tab allows you to quickly calculate the best User Factor and User Offset by entering actual measurements and the corresponding desired reading for each measurement. In each row, enter the displayed pressure in the first column and the reading you want the gauge to display in the Desired Indication column. The User Factor and User Offset will be recalculated after each point entered. The Gauge Reading...

The Tank Level tab allows you to setup the gauge as a height or percent of capacity indicator for a tank or reservoir by entering in a few basic measurements. The tank level assumes the fluid density is constant, and that the fluid is not compressible. You will need the following information: Desired units to be displayed on gauge (feet, meters, % of capacity, etc.). If % of capacity is chosen, you will also need the height of the tank. The vertical distance from the gauge to the bottom of the tank, and if the gauge is above or below the bottom of the tank. Media density, in kg/m³, lbs/ft³, or...

   CALIBRATION MESSAGES The XP2i has a calibration reminder feature that can help to assure that you never use the gauge after its calibration certificate has expired. It can be programmed to alert you prior to, on, and after the gauge’s calibration due date. Due dates, reminder times, and message types can be set after enabling calibration messages. Enable Calibration Messages: Checking this box enables calibration messages. Show Cal Warning: Set the number of days or weeks prior to the Cal Due date when the first warning should appear. The gauge will display “Cal Soon” once the defined time...
