MCN/RCD Remote Comparator Display Software



MCN Software provides real-time monitoring and control for most comparators and voters, as well as other site equipment such as doors, generators, and alarms. With MCN Software, you can monitor and control comparators and site equipment status for multiple sites from the same screen. You can even Force-Vote and Disable transmitters from a PC.

The software displays Vote, Receive, and Fail status for any receiver in the system. You can remotely disable a noisy receiver to quickly allow the system to function until maintenance can be performed.
