MESUTRONIC detectors. Through the use of mesuNET you can access and edit all
setting variables of the detectors from just one computer. In addition you will be able to
enjoy all of the advantages which the permanent storage of events provides.

Before using mesuNET, please read the entire operating manual thoroughly. It will
provide you with all you need to be able to operate and adjust the software to the
optimum according to your requirements.

If, contrary to expectations, you have any problems in operating your system, the
MESUTRONIC-Team and our contractors will be able to assist you at any time.

The MESUTRONIC-Team is at your disposal from Monday until Friday between 8

a.m. and 6 p.m., tel. +49 9927 / 94 10-0 or fax +49 9927 / 17 32. Outside our office
hours, you can contact us, at any time, via MESUTRONIC-Helpline. The respective
phone number can be retrieved from our answer machine. Please do not hesitate to
contact us.

1. To add a new Language, you have to add the name of the Language (e.g. French), that should be
shown in the Language-selection fields, and its international 2-digit Language code (e.g. fr).
2. Change the current language.
3. Download language files. Download the language
from which you want to translate.
(de = German, en = English …)
In order for the text to be displayed correctly, you a) b)
will require the freeware program “poEdit”. You
can download the text editor free of charge at
http://www.poedit.org .
poEdit a)

b) Text to be translated c)
c) Field for text input (for the translation)
4. New or already translated texts can be uploaded
here. The text files must be named according to the format “text_XX.po”, wherein XX is replaced by
the international two-letter language code.
Caution: Uploading files with the same name will cause the old files to be overwritten.

-20-
Log files

Editing of the log settings on the basis of the following parameters:

 Time period (in hours): describes the duration of the log messages within a file.
 Log level: affects the number of messages that are stored in the log files in descending order
(trace = all messages, debug = all debug information, info = all information, warn = warnings
only, error = errors only)

Confirm your settings with Reset.

Executing a Reset stops the current logging session and creates a new log archive.
The creation of the archive can take a few seconds. The archive appears automatically in the log file
list.

Backup

Detector Messages

Create a backup of detector messages or restore the condition of a previously created backup.

To create a data backup:

The messages which the computer receives from its surroundings are saved in a database in the
Multilink-Master. Since large amounts of data are collected during the course of time, it is advisable to
save the database locally on your own PC from time to time. This gives you the possibility to access the
saved events at any time.
You can select all messages or just save the events from within a certain chosen time period.

-21-
To restore data

Select “Restore data” to restore previously saved events. “Search” will display a window where you can
select the saved events.

User Profiles

Save and restore the configured user profiles and the associated rights.

Configuration Files

With the configuration files you can accommodate the application to the detectors of MESUTRONIC.
It may be necessary to upload new configuration files in order to support new products and functions.
This is done in the same way as restoring a configuration file backup.

Detector Settings

Save and restore the host and detector settings

Reportparameter

Backup/restore of report settings and report parameter settings

Text Files

Backup/restore the text files

Adjust Server Time

Saving of the metal and error messages takes place independent of the time set on the metal detector.

Restart Server

The server and the mesuNET application will be restarted

Attention:
The server will be restarted, which takes up to one minute. During this time the application is not reachable.
After the successful restart the login screen will be shown.

-22-
Restart Application

Restart the Application. Restarts only the mesuNET software.

Attention:
The server (Tomcat) will be restarted, which takes up to one minute. During this time the application is not
reachable. After the successfull restart the login screen will be shown.

Restart m4d server

Restarts the locally installed m4d server.

The m4d server is required for communication between mesuNET servers and the detectors via
CAN-Bus.

Softwareupdate

Update the mesuNET application. Upload the new mesuNET.war file.

After that you can update the application. The server must be restarted, which takes up to one minute.

Network Settings

Edit the network settings.

Attention:
You have to restart the server to apply changes.
