Communicating with the Recorder Using Power View
The PDA serves as your control panel for the Recorder. The Power View software
installed on the PDA is designed to function as a remote front panel for the Recorder,
since the Recorder itself is a “black box” with no integral display or external controls
other than status LEDs. With Power View installed on the PDA, you are relieved of the
burden of having to carry a laptop and Ethernet cable to a remote site when setting up the
Recorder, checking its progress, or finishing a monitoring session.
You can alternatively connect to a Recorder from a PC directly using an Ethernet cable or
remotely over an IP network. You can then use Fluke Power Analyze to set up the
Recorder, view power measurements wherever the Recorder is installed, or download
data from the Recorder.
Power View communicates with the PDA using a wireless controller radio interface.
There is no provision for a hardwired PDA interface to the Ethernet port on the Recorder.
After data is recorded and downloaded to a PC, you can analyze the recorded data using
the Power Analyze software.
