Software
Our SediMeter™ instruments have an open communication protocol, over an RS485 network. This free software supports much of what the instrument can do, and is essential for basic operation and data download. It is PC only, and uses the LabVIEW 2020 Runtime engine, which is included in the full download. The update version only works if you already have installed the corresponding full version. LabVIEW is developed by National Instruments. Operating System Note: This software has been fully tested and verified on Windows 10. While it may run on Windows 11 via the underlying LabVIEW runtime environment, it is not officially guaranteed or actively supported for Windows 11 environments.
