MTEK6000 SERIES USER'S MANUAL
5 - 2 January 2002
Software
Important Note: pcGas Meter Reader,
pcGas Host and pcGas Customer Monitor
applications are DOS based programs.
They are available for a one-time charge
but are sold ‘as is’ and are not being
changed or upgraded in any way by
Metretek. While these programs may be
of value to certain users, Metretek makes
no warranty as to their performance.
Metretek strongly encourages the use of
the MTEKManager and DC2000 32 bit
Windows
tm
applications.
pcGas Meter Reader Software
pcGas Meter Reader is a flexible, yet simple
software package that allows personnel
responsible for site-specific configuration or
data collection to conveniently interact with
the unit. pcGas Meter Reader can be
purchased to interface with the unit, but
does not replace pcGas Host software; a user
cannot use it to download processes to an
MTEK6000 with blank system memory.
However, it does allow a convenient method
of viewing and/or modifying general site-
specific database information (most of
which are shown in Appendix A).
Trend Graphics, and AutoPoll are standard
features with pcGas Meter Reader. Manuals
for Meter Reader and Meter Reader Utilities
are provided with each registered copy of
the program. Refer to these manuals for
additional information.
pcGas Meter Utility Package
The pcGas Meter Reader Utility Package is
supplied, upon request, with your unit. See
Appendix for installation and operating
instructions. The utility package consists of
the following:
• Site I.D. Changer - View or change
the Site I.D. stored in the device.
• Label Changer - View and change
label and function key definitions.
• Virtual Keypad - Emulates the
keypad in the MTEK6000 products. Can
be used for configuration and
calibration.
pcGas Customer Monitor
pcGas Customer Monitor lets personnel
responsible for collecting data to
conveniently interact with the unit. No data
can be modified in the unit with this
software - it only provides a convenient
method of viewing and reading history data
stored in the unit.
MTEK Manager
The MTEK Manager software is an
integrated group of utilities designed for
configuration and management of the
MTEK6000 corrector as well as the
AE5000/6000 product lines. The software
utilizes MS Access™ compatible databases
for all of its data, and is suitable for
managing small groups of correctors.
Mtek Manager is licensed for end-use
pursuant to Metretek’s standard licensing
fees and terms. This package has all the
features of the basic package, but adds the
ability to retrieve, view, and print the
historical data from the correctors.
It also adds the ability to perform remote
access using a dialup phone system.
Included is an auto-polling application that
can be used to schedule polls to the
configured stations, as well as answer
incoming calls. Data export to DC2000™
can also be automated after data is collected.
