In order to change the variable being displayed on the RapidVu Dial the program called the "Rapidlogger Utility" is needed. This document describes the use of the "Rapidlogger Utility". You should only use version number 2.1.0.50 or newer versions of this utility program. The program is available on the CD that is shipped with your system. Before using this program the PC should be connected to the Rapidlogger System with an Ethernet cable and the network setup should be completed. The network setup is described in a different document.
