Preparing Setups

PAS allows you to prepare setup data for your BFM136 off-line without the
need to have it connected to your PC.

Select the appropriate site from the list box on the PAS toolbar, and then

select the desired setup group from the Meter Setup menu. Click on the tab
with the setup you want to create or modify, and then fill in the boxes with the
desired configuration data. Click the “Save as…” button to store the data to
the site database.

To save your setup to another site database, select it from the file pane.
Click OK.

To reuse setups from another site, copy them to your present site database.
Click Open, select the desired site database, and click OK. The opened
setup is copied to your site database.

You can also copy all setups from one site database into another site's
database. Select a device site from the list box on the toolbar from which you
want to reproduce setups, and then select “Copy to...” from the Meter Setup
menu. Select the site database to which to copy setups, and then click OK.

Downloading Setups

You can update each setup in your BFM136 one at time or download all
setups together from the site database.

To update a particular setup, check the On-line button on the PAS toolbar,
select a submeter site from the list box on the toolbar, and then select the
desired setup group from the Meter Setup menu. Click on the tab of the
setup you want to download to the device, and then click Send.

To download all setups at once, check the On-line button on the toolbar,
select the submeter site from the list box on the toolbar, and then select
Download Setups from the Meter Setup menu.

Device setup settings, excluding the alarm setpoints and data log setup, are
shared across all submeters. Though you can download them to the device

using any submeter address, your changes affect all submeters in the
device.

The alarm setpoints and data log setup must be downloaded separately to
every submeter using its local address. If you wish to download the same
settings to all submeters in your device, prepare the alarm setpoints and/or
data log setup for one of the submeters and store them to its site database,
select the submeter site from the list box on the toolbar, and then click
Download to all Submeters on the Meter Setup menu.

Uploading Setups

To upload the setups from the submeter to the site database, check the On-
line button on the PAS toolbar, select the submeter site from the list box on
the toolbar, and then select Upload Setups from the Meter Setup menu.

Authorization

If communications with your device is secured, you are prompted for the
password when you send new setup data to the BFM136 .
