Hi J.Lash and stefy's, Maybe you know about the alternative of free softwares for configuration of instruments: "The FDT concept (FDT— Field Device Tool) created a standard that can be used to integrate devices in various user interfaces (framework applications such as PACTware). The FDT concept enables open and continuous device operation from the control level to the field, regardless of the bus systems used." Every maker provide his own DTM's (Device Type Manager ) for his instruments: Device and Communication DTM "The DTM contains all the data and functions of a device. Every DTM contains its own user interface optimized for the device. The device and communication DTMs can be integrated in any FDT framework program, such as PACTware. The DTM offers almost no restriction with regard to display and user guidance. This means that all available device functions can be operated according to the user's needs. Operation is supported by graphics. The DTM technology enables consistent operation of a device in all FDT systems."
