Application
Uniform interface for configuration and operation of various smart SAMSON devices

TROVIS-VIEW provides a uniform user interface that allows
users to configure and parameterize various SAMSON devices using device-specific database modules. All smart
SAMSON devices are listed in Table 2.

A direct connection enables both online and offline operation.
This means that data can be changed in the device immediately, or they can be saved on the PC first and downloaded
later to the device on site.

Data are transmitted between the TROVIS-VIEW software andthe SAMSON device either directly (e.g. using a connecting
cable or infrared adapter. Refer also to Table 2) or indirectly
using a memory pen or memory module.

The device-specific modules contain a database that provides
the characteristic properties of each device type, such as parameters, data points, user levels etc.
The various user levels can be password-protected.
The available modules are constantly adapted to the new firmware versions of devices. New modules are also being constantly added.
