4.1 Introduction
4.1.1 Overview
Although setpoints can be manually entered using the front panel keys, it is far more
efficient and easier to use a computer to download values through the communications
port. The no-charge EnerVista PQMII Setup Software included with the PQMII makes this a
quick and convenient process. With the EnerVista PQMII Setup Software running on your
PC, it is possible to:
• Program and modify setpoints
• Load/save setpoint files from/to disk
• Read actual values and monitor status
• Perform waveform capture and log data
• Perform harmonic analysis
• Trigger trace memory
• Get help on any topic
The EnerVista PQMII Setup Software allows immediate access to all the features of the
PQMII through pull-down menus in the familiar Windows environment. The software can
also run without a PQMII connected. This allows you to edit and save setpoint files for later
use. If a PQMII is connected to a serial port on a computer and communication is enabled,
the PQMII can be programmed from the setpoint screens. In addition, measured values,
status and alarm messages can be displayed with the actual screens.
