Powermonitor Data Display and Configuration

Important: Communication alarm conditions that were described for
displaying device data screens also apply to displaying configuration screens.
Important: Device configuration screens are not available to the operator if
the PASSWORD.CFG file is missing from the SP directory on disk.
Modifying Parameter Values
In the device configuration screens, the Powermonitor Software will prompt
the operator to enter the Powermonitor Software password. This is necessary
before any device parameters may be modified.
When working in the device configuration screens, the arrow keys are used
to position the cursor onto the desired parameter field. The cursor position is
indicated by a flashing parameter value.
Some parameter fields are changed by entering a numerical value. If an
attempt is made to set a parameter to a value outside its allowable limits, the
value is rejected. Should a value be rejected, the user must re–enter with a
proper value. The operator may also cancel the entry of any value by
pressing the <Esc> key.
Some parameter fields are changed by pressing the plus or minus keys which
cause the field to increment/decrement through a pre–defined range of
values, or number of parameter selections. This is indicated by +/– toggle
UP/DN appearing in the lower right hand portion of the screen.
Reconfiguring The Device With The New Parameter Values
The Powermonitor will be reconfigured using the new values entered into the
screen when the operator presses the <Esc> key to return to the MAIN
MENU. The <Esc> key, in this case, is used as a SAVE & EXIT command.
After transmitting the changes and returning to the MAIN MENU, it is
recommended that the operator redisplays the setup screen for that device to
verify that the new parameter values have, in fact, been implemented.
