RHECom Software
The RHE21 transmitter is a fully featured device with many sophisticated functions and configuration is necessary for proper performance of these functions. RHECom software is available in three versions – Free, Pro, and Pro+. RHEComFree is available for download at no extra cost or on a USB flash drive. RHEComFree allows the full setup of transmitter parameters and includes a useful data-logging function for monitoring the performance of the meter.
For a small one-time license fee, RHEComPro and RHEComPro+ offer additional insight and set up convenience menus. RHEComPro includes data logging, trending, and broad diagnostic capabilities. RHEComPro+ takes flow meter management one step further with a revolutionary fully functioning simulator application. With the simulator, you can trial run your application from the convenience of your office, adjusting transmitter settings, setting alarms and filters, and creating transmitter configuration files for upload into the actual unit.
The simulator is also ideal for training – it exactly mimics the front panel of the instrument display and buttons when clicked and includes controls for adjusting flow, density, and temperature readings just like the unit was in line!
