The Quick Start Guide will instruct the user through the initial setup and startup guiding users through its many functions and features. 2.0 Installing OMNICOM  Insert the OMNI 3000/6000 distribution media into the computer.  Go to the drive name where the media is located and run “autorun.exe” software to download.  The default installation folder is “C:\OmniFlow\OmniCom”. 3.0 Setting up Connection Definitions Before communicating with the OMNI, connection sites should be defined as follows:  The sites describe which communication port of the PC to use and other related communications parameters.  Direct, Modem, Satellite and/or TCP/IP communications can be set up. OMNICOM has two (2) default direct connection sites defined at installation time. To verify connection sites needed, the following must be performed:  Select Edit │Sites from the Menu Toolbar  Highlight one (1) of the sites and double click or select Edit to view the parameters. NOTE: The parameters of an existing site can be changed or a new site can be added if desired. Each site is associated with one (1) or more units  Configure at least one (1) unit for each site  The unit configuration allows the user to set the details of the connection to a particular OMNI unit  Some details include Modbus ID, protocol type, timing delays and retries QUICK START GUIDE Copyright © 2016 OMNI Flow Computers, Inc.

Security Password  Enter OMNI (case insensitive), then select OK. 6.0 Synchronizing OMNICOM and the OMNI After connecting to an OMNI, OMNICOM needs to be synchronized with the OMNI before any main configuration items can be changed.  When the configuration tree item is expanded, a dialog box is presented giving the user a choice of sending the current OMNICOM configuration to the OMNI or reading the current OMNI configuration into OMNICOM. The last option is to go offline and cancel the operation.  Synchronization is not necessary when going to Operate, Diagnostics or WinPanel.  Once synchronized, the user can freely go between configuration screens.

This allows the most current information to be visible.  Synchronization can also be achieved by selecting Receive or Actions │ Receive on the Menu Toolbar (Figure 2). 7.0 Menu Toolbar Figure 2. Menu Toolbar Any action performed by way of the icons on the toolbar can also be performed by selecting from the Menu Toolbar (Figure 2). Hovering the mouse pointer above a toolbar item for a moment displays a toolbar tip exhibiting the action that the particular icon performs. The information below explains the function and details of the icons on the toolbar relating to the File menu:  New - Initializes OMNICOM and creates an empty (new) configuration with default settings.  Open - Provides a File Open control dialog allowing user to load an existing OMNICOM configuration from disk.  Save - Saves the active configuration and report template files to their current name and directory.

Page 8 of 10 9.0 Configuration OMNICOM opens in file mode with a new configuration file automatically available. If this is the first attempt, the new file defaults to the latest version of 20.75. If a file was previously saved, it opens a new file using the Application, Version and Revision last used.  To create a new configuration file of a different application and version, select File │ Open.  To open an existing configuration file, select File | Open.  In general, the Configuration Tree is presented in the same order that items are to be entered. As users progress down the tree making entries, the tree items and tabs change to adapt to the desired configuration. Only those items necessary for the application will be visible.  Operating modes, Configure, Operate, and Diagnostics, are similar in appearance.  On the left hand side there is a tree that divides the mode specific information into sections  Each has several screens or tabs that appear on the right when selected  OMNICOM enables or disables configuration screens based on selections made through the configuration process.  This hides parameters that are not relevant to the application for what the OMNI is being programmed  The General Setup – Equipment List tab allows the user to indicate the equipment in the installation that interacts with the OMNI.  The OMNI can be configured for up to four (4) meter runs.  If in the Equipment List and there are only two (2) meter runs selected, none of the configuration screens for Meter Run 3 or Meter Run 4 will be visible.  This option can be turned on any time which will then activate screens.  The OMNI I/O section is used to group and define the I/O in the system based on the boards or modules configured in the OMNI.  The number and types of modules can be configured when the unit in OMNICOM is offline.  When the unit is online in OMNICOM, only the modules can be viewed.  Only the modules listed are configured in the tree. (For example, if there is only one (1) digital I/O module installed, then only one (1) digital board is visible (D-2) in the tree.) QUICK START GUIDE Copyright © 2016 OMNI Flow Computers, Inc.
