5.4.2.  Recording settings screen – NPV systems 

This screen is designed with some levels and sub-levels as a typical tree Windows 
structure in order to reach with extreme details the desired options. After selection of 
“Recording settings” icon, the below screen is shown: 

 

Fig. 79: Recording settings screen 

Using up and down arrows keys or touching directly the items at display the 
selection/disable of internal flags inside check box is possible. Click on check box with “

+

” 

symbol to cause an expansion of structure with the opening of a new sub-level inside 
which new selections are possible. Click on check box with “

-

” symbol to go back to master 

level. The displayed selection/disable of parameters is performed in the following way: 
 

 

Grey

The bottom bar of display included the below functions, relative to 

F1

F2

F3

F4

 keys: 

 

 

CLP/EXP

: used to collapse or expand the sub-levels 

 

PREDEF.

: used to open the typical configuration section (see § 5.4.2.14) 

 

SEL

: used to select or disable parameters inside various levels 

 

MODIFY

: used to perform any parameters modify inside various levels 

 
On the bottom of display the number of selected parameters and the 

recording 

autonomy

, expressed in days and hours, is shown by meter. These s are dynamically 

updated from meter depending on the parameters selection. 
 

5.4.2.1. Comments  

These option permits to insert a short comment row at display which will compare also in 
print report downloaded from meter to PC. This comment text is set both using standard 
TopView software (for any information please refer to software Help on line) and by using 
the virtual keyboard on meter which is activated by pressing 

F4

 key (or the 

MODIFY

    at 

display). The flag of this option is always active and not disabled.
