SMC Software Manual
The SMC Software Manual documents the desktop application Sertel Electronics built to test, configure and calibrate its Solar Monitoring Card. Test engineers use it to read live voltage, current, power and temperature values, configure RF communication, calibrate sensor readings and generate test reports before deployment.
Live DC voltage, current, power and temperature readings on 2D gauges
Automated 4-point test report with a color-coded pass percentage
RF frequency, wireless address and NET ID configuration in one panel
Serial Port and Modbus TCP connectivity, selectable from the same screen
Key Features
Built for Reliable Solar Monitoring Card Testing
A practical product foundation for critical infrastructure projects that need dependable hardware and engineering support.
Environmental Temperature Monitoring
Track internal temperature alongside electrical measurements to distinguish sensor faults from temperature-related drift.
Automated Test Reporting
DC voltage, string values, alarm data and internal temperature each contribute 25 percent of the test score.
RF and Wireless Configuration
Read and set frequency, baud rate, air rate, packet size, address and network ID from the configuration window.
Sensor Calibration
Apply temperature, voltage and current corrections with SET, then verify the applied values with CHECK.
Serial and Modbus TCP Connectivity
Connect over a serial port or Modbus TCP using the connection settings suited to the monitoring card.
