Using The Software

The Powermonitor Software is an easy–to–learn and simple–to–use software
package incorporating a very powerful menu–driven operator interface. The
MAIN MENU is illustrated in Figure 4.3. This menu can be displayed at any
time by pressing the <Esc> key.

Important: The Powermonitor Software MAIN MENU will not be made
available to the operator if the PASSWORD.CFG file is missing from the SP
directory on disk. Instead, the operator may only use the function keys F1 to
F6 to connect with Powermonitors and view device data. The <Esc> key, in
this case, is used to escape to DOS.

Any screen or function option can be accessed by using the arrow (cursor)
keys. To select the option, position the highlighted cursor over the desired
name, then press the <Enter> key. Each time a menu item is selected, the
information requested will be displayed or the selected function will be
performed.

After selecting a menu option, the system operator can always return to the
MAIN MENU by pressing the <Esc> key.

ATTENTION: Device time and date must be set when
communication is first established and whenever the device
loses power.
