TXCONFIG-HART Interface
English
Quick Guide
The TxConfig-HART is a configuration interface for transmitters with HART
protocol. It can be used together with the configuration software TxConfig.
INTERFACE INSTALLATION
In the TxConfig-HART model there is a USB communication interface,
which must be connected to the available USB port. Windows will request
the proper driver installation, which is found in the CD that is provided with
the transmitter.
USB Drivers Installation
The drives installation steps may vary according to the machine, even for
the same version of an operating system. The following steps are only to
provide guidance.
1. Insert the CD shipped with the transmitter in the CD-ROM drive.
2. Connect the interface the PC USB port. Windows® will acknowledge
the presence of new hardware and a few seconds later it will start the
drivers installation process.
3. The found new hardware wizard will be displayed, and you will be asked if
you want to install the driver from the Windows Update website. Select
“No, not this time”, and then click “Next”.
4. Select “Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)” and click
“Next”.
5. Select “Search for the best driver in these locations” and check “Search
removable media”. Click “Next”. If installation files are not in a CD,
check “Include this location in the search” and show the file path.
6. If a prompt warns you that it does not support Windows® XP, click
“Continue anyway”.
7. The interface driver files will be copied to the computer and after a few
seconds a screen is displayed informing that the software installation as
been concluded. Click “Finish”.
8. In some situations, the steps described above may be repeated again.
Follow the same procedures.
In later uses of the interface, Windows® may require the driver installation
again. In this case, the same installation wizard will be displayed, and you
will have to select the option “Install software automatically
(recommended)”, as the driver may already be in the computer.
