Communicating with Your Meters

Creating a New Site

In order to communicate with your meters, you should create a separate site database for each one
where all meter settings are stored. PAS keeps all site settings in a file with a name you give it and the
extension .mdb. When you install PAS on your computer, a directory named "Sites" is created in
the PAS installation directory. It is advised to keep all your site databases in this directory.

o create a new database for your meter, select 'Configuration' from the
Tools menu, and then click 'Sites' at right on the 'Instrument Setup' tab.
From the 'Look in' box, select the directory where a new database will be
stored. Type a site name for your meter in the 'File name' box, click 'New',

and then click 'OK'. You will see the selected site's name in the 'Site' box. As you
create new databases, their names are added to the site list that you can browse
from this box.

In the 'Model' box, select your meter model type, and in the 'Instrument Options'
group boxes, specify the voltage and current input and analog output (if any)
