New training materials have been developed for your use that will allow you to deliver better training in less time. They follow the new DOE guidelines that require non product specific training. The courses are built in PowerPoint with embedded videos and can be downloaded via FTP.  This is a co-operative, community effort with a goal to developing the best possible training.

Virtual DM-2

Retrotec's Virtual DM-2 is an easy to use tool that allows you to display live readings from Retrotec's Digital Manometer on a laptop screen. Using the Virtual DM-2, you can project a virtual replica of the DM-2 Gauge face, and make your DM-2 four feet tall. Have fun demonstrating gauge operations, and make it so that everyone can see. Use your mouse to click on the screen and have the DM-2 respond as if you were pushing the buttons.

Currently, it only displays pressure and flow but new features will update automatically from the Internet.

The Virtual DM-2 downloader currently works best with Internet Explorer.

• The DM-2 must be plugged into computer before the Vitual emulator starts up.
• Do NOT have other Retrotec software running at the same time.
• Plug DM-2 into fan at any time.
• Press any Key on the Virtual DM-2 or the real DM-2 to perform any action. Currently, some of those actions are not displayed but still work on the real DM-2.
