2 MC6-Ex User Manual –Part 1, Introduction

GENERAL

Thank you for buying Beamex MC6-Ex, Intrinsically Safe Advanced Field Cali-

brator and Communicator. Because of its versatile features, it really is "more

than a calibrator".

MC6-Ex is one device with five different operational modes: Meter, Calibrator,

Documenting Calibrator, Data Logger and Fieldbus Communicator.

Attention!

Before taking MC6-Ex into use, please read the warnings

available in Appendix.

ABOUT THIS MANUAL

MC6-Ex User Manual is divided into several parts as follows:

Part 1, Introduction discusses general matters.

Part 2, Active Terminals and Connections. Whatever you measure,

generate or simulate, here's how to make the necessary connections.

Part 3, Meter introduces the metering tool, which is handy for making

quick measurements. One measurement at a time.

Part 4, Calibrator. A more versatile tool which allows you to meas-

ure/generate/simulate two things simultaneously etc.

Part 5, Documenting Calibrator concentrates on instrument calibration

using the full featured documenting calibrator.

Part 6, Data Logger. Collecting and reviewing

data and transferring logged data to a PC.

Part 7, Communicator. Invoking digital com-

munication with modern instruments.

Part 8, Settings. How to customize MC6-Ex

and what the About window contains.

Part 9, Additional Information. About ad-

vanced tools for, e.g. adding custom pressure

units, connecting external devices etc.
