The PME Assistant provides a simple user interface under MS-Windows for
parameterizing the modules.
The PME Assistant is the sole means of parameterizing and setting up
the MP85/MP85DP module (described in the Online Help).
To do this you need an LPT →CAN or USB →CAN interface converter, that
has to be ordered separately (1−PMESETUP; 1−PMESETUP-USB).
The software allows you to set all the device parameters apart from the one
for the CAN-BUS interface used for setup.
The software also allows you to set up the other devices of the PME family.
