Using ViewPoint

™

Software

ViewPoint™ software is used to monitor diagnostics and configure registers with DENT Instruments

PowerScout meters. All of DENT Instruments PowerScout meters use ViewPoint software to

communicate with the meter.
The screen display for each ViewPoint tab can be somewhat different based on the selected meter

(PS3/PS24) and the communication protocol (BACnet/Modbus). For example, a connected PowerScout 3

meter will show only one element on the Real-Time Values screen while a PowerScout 24 will show

eight. ViewPoint also displays language changes, i.e., registers/objects, in dialog boxes and text fields

based on the selected protocol.
The Communication screen is displayed when ViewPoint is first started. This is where the software

networking parameters are entered to match the PowerScout networking configuration (meter type,

COM port, baud rate, base address, etc.). ViewPoint remembers your last connection and displays those

previous selections when opening the software once again.

CREENS

ViewPoint has five screens accessed by tabs. Click on any tab to display that screen.



Communications—provides the setup parameters that enable ViewPoint to communicate with

the PowerScout.



Meter Setup—enables current transformer (CT) type and amperage rating changes.



Real-Time Values—displays the current readings for verifying the system is configured properly.



Read/Write Registers, Read/Set Objects—provides diagnostic and special configuration options,

allowing the changing or viewing of the value of PowerScout Modbus registers or BACnet

objects.



Firmware—verifies the current firmware version and updates the PowerScout internal firmware

when directed.

OMMUNICATION AND

ESSAGES

Common to each screen is a

Status

field that displays information regarding the current process. Also, a

Help

button is available in the upper right-hand corner of each screen where you can access information

about the different screens.
