Introduction
The ST100 Configuration software is a PC application that lets the user easily set up and configure the ST100 Series Thermal Mass Flow Meter
products. Use this tool for all instrument commissioning activity. This manual covers ST100 Configuration software v2.2.0.0.
Installation
Find the Software Configurator MSI install file in the Software folder on the product documentation CD. The file can be identified by name – ST100
Configurator Setup.msi . Copy this file to a location on your PC designated for ST100 documentation.
Run the MSI installer file and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. The installation process places an application shortcut
icon on your PC desktop.
The ST100 Configurator icon looks like a pair of Binoculars.
Running the PC Conguration Application via USB
Double click the ST100 Configurator icon. The application opens to the Welcome Screen as shown below.
Connect the instrument to the PC using the USB cable provided then turn the power ON. The ST100 USB connector is located on the customer inter-
face board as shown in the figure below (remove blind lid for access).

Click the USB connect button at the top of the Welcome Screen.
The ST100 Process Data screen shows the same data available on the instrument LCD display.
• Percent of range scale located on the top of the screen
• Flow
• Total Flow (if Mass or Volumetric units used)
• Temperature
• Pressure (for STP Series only)
• Calibration Group number and Group name
• Alarm and Fault indicators
The ST100 Series is set up using the configuration menu on the left side of the screen. The menu is displayed in a hierarchical tree structure:
Once connected, the ST100 Configuration application shows the Process Data screen as shown in the figure below.

This screen displays the real time values of the following flow element parameters:
• RefR – Reference RTD resistance
• dR – Delta resistance between the active and reference RTDs
• TcdR – Temperature Compensated dR value
• Temperature – Real time temperature value
• Flow – Real time flow value
• Pressure – Real time pressure value (for STP models)
This screen can be helpful when diagnosing system faults.
FE1 Process Data
The FE1 description refers to Flow Element 1 of the system. The system is capable of supporting multiple flow elements but for the purpose of this
manual we will discuss a single point system with one flow element. Select the FE1 Process Data branch on the menu tree. The figure below
shows an example FE1 Process Data screen.

Parameter Reports
A Parameter Reports screen displays the calibration information saved in the ST100 Series unit for a particular calibration group numbered 1-5.
Selecting a parameter report for a particular calibration group displays that group’s info/data. Similar to other setup menus there are Get and Send
buttons to receive (from ST100) and transmit (to ST100) a calibration parameter. Use of the Send button, however, is a factory-only operation that
requires a special password.
