ION Setup Software
ION Setup is a software solution that allows basic configuration and control
capabilities for your power monitoring devices. ION Setup can also display real-
time and diagnostic data for your networked devices.
When starting ION Setup, you have the option to enter network mode or single
device mode at the logon screen. Network mode allows you to add multiple sites
and meters to your network, organize your meters into logical groups, and
configure each site and meter individually. The single device mode, however,
allows you to connect to only one meter and make changes to its configuration or
view its data.
Refer to the documentation on you ION Setup CD or visit the Power Measurement
web site for complete details on ION Setup.
Configuring Communications
With ION Setup, you first create one or more communication sites: the site defines
the communication method. You then add devices to a site, followed by grouping
the devices in a logical manner according to your needs (e.g. by common function
or physical location).
