The Powermonitor Software provides an on–screen HELP feature which can
provide the operator with information about communication, modem usage,
and technical support, without having to refer back to Publication 1400–800,
‘‘Bulletin 1400 Powermonitor Installation and Operation.”Help is also
available from the connection screen, when not connected by pressing H.

To access the HELP INFORMATION SCREEN, select the HELP option
from the MAIN MENU.

The MAIN MENU provides a utility to update the time of a Powermonitor.
This function sets the on–board clock of the remote device to the value of the
computer’s internal clock. A remote device’s present time setting can be
viewed by simply displaying the REAL–TIME or STATUS screen for that
device. Time is displayed in the bottom right–hand corner for each of these
screens. While the Main Menu is displayed, press the F8 key to change the
unit time to the computers present system time. F8 – Update Unit Time. This
function is now password protected and displays the current PC Time to
allow the user to see what would be sent to each unit prior to sending the
time.
