Powermonitor Data Display and Configuration
5–2
Important: An audible alarm (beep) will be encountered if a
communications failure occurs when attempting to display any device screen.
In this case, the operator should verify communication with the device by
entering the CONNECTION screen and checking that the CONNECT
STATUS field is reading CONNECTED. If this is not the case, attempt to
reconnect with the device as described in Chapter 4, ‘‘Using The Software.”
If connection cannot be accomplished, refer to Chapter 8,‘‘Troubleshooting.”
An example of a typical device data screen is provided in Figure 5.1.
Figure 5.1
Example of Powermonitor Data Screen
At the bottom of each data screen the UNIT ID indicates from which unit
data is presently being monitored. The DATE and TIME shown at the
bottom of some screens (ex. REAL–TIME and STATUS screens) indicates
the time at which the data was last updated.
The data shown on each screen will be continually updated as long as the
device is connected. The rate at which data is refreshed will depend upon the
baud rate of the communications link.
Displaying Additional Data
In the case of screens which contain too much information to be shown at
once, such as the SNAPSHOT LOG, the up/down arrow or PgUp/PgDn keys
can be used to scroll or page up/down through the data, respectively. The
left/right arrow keys can also be used to select any available adjacent screens
(ex. SNAPSHOT Left, Center, Right).
