You may get a notification that the publisher is not verified, but you can safely proceed.
Once installed, it will ask for your login details. Use the credentials you use to log in to the Calculus Portal.

Hint!

When Digger is started, it automatically checks for updates, so that you always have the latest version.

Using Calculus Digger

When you have succesfully logged in to Digger, you will see the screen below.

In the field Select Gateway, choose the gateway you want to connect to. Only see gateways that are online, and linked to projects to which you have access, will be available.
Choose modbus.tcp in Select Slave Definition.
After this, you can select the IP address to which the DSE controller is connected in Select Slave.
Finally, click on the Activate button to create a tunnel connection to the selected gateway.

DEIF Utility software

Start the DEIF Utility software.

Click on File and then on Settings. From here, go to the Communication tab.
For Communication type, choose TCP-IP. When you use Calculus Digger, you must always enter 127.0.0.1 at IP address of the device and 1 at Device modbus ID.
Under Advanced settings you can set the time-out values a bit higher because the traffic is no longer done locally, but via the internet and a 4G internet connection.
Click OK and Start communication with the device (F5).
