MeterView™ software allows all PD765 or PD8-765 setup parameters to be programmed from a PC and to save the configuration settings to a file for reporting or programming other meters. For programming purposes, MeterView software connects to the PD765 or PD8-765 meter via the low-cost PDA8006 USB serial adapter pictured above.
Meter Copy
The Copy function is used to copy (or clone) all the settings from one PD765 or PD8-765 meter to other PD765 or PD8-765 meters in less than 10 seconds. The Copy function is a standard feature on all PD765 or PD8-765 meters. The Copy feature does not require a serial communication adapter, it only requires the optional cable assembly (PDA7420).
Programming with Four Front Panel Buttons
The PD765 or PD8-765 four front panel buttons keep the user in control of the programming process. To see how simple it is to program the PD765 or PD8-765, check out the Virtual Meter at www.predig.com/tvm.
Programming From a PC with MeterView™
Precision Digital’s free MeterView™ software allows all PD765 or PD8-765 setup parameters to be programmed from a PC and to save the configuration settings to a file for reporting or programming other meters.

Data Acquisition
Digital panel meters make a great front end to a PC-based data acquisition system. They are easy to set up, can be used for a wide range of inputs, will power the transmitter, and best of all provide a local display of the process. Precision Digital has the perfect package with its PD765 or PD8-765 Meters, a wide selection of serial adapters and converters and free MeterView™ software. Data is displayed on the PC and written to a file that could then be imported into a spreadsheet or other application.
