Other Functions within PSM
Introduction
In addition to the many power analysis functions of PSM that have been presented in previous
chapters, there are several other functions available. These are functions of convenience, functions for
setting up attached ATPOL II meters, and functions for setting up the PSM program. They include:
Operate ATPOL II via remote control
Install new firmware
Setting the initial greeting of the connected ATPOL II
Setting the time of the connected ATPOL II
Setting the cost/KWH of the connected ATPOL II
Selecting the communications port of your computer
Selecting the speed of communications of your computer
Selecting the language of PSM
Enabling serial communications debug mode
Remote Control of ATPOL II
Remote control operation allows operating a connected ATPOL II unit from your
computer. Your mouse and keyboard actuate the keys of the attached ATPOL II.
A picture of the ATPOL II and its display are visible on your computer screen.
This is very handy for operating a unit remotely and for operating and displaying
the readings of a unit to many people at one time.
To enter the remote control mode of operation, click on
“Remote Control” on the
main menu. An image of the connected unit will appear. At this point you can
activate individual keys by clicking on them with your mouse or by typing in the
character that is underlined in the image (for instance, type in “P” to activate the
“Power” key.
Locating and Installing Software and Firmware
ATPOL II has the ability to have its firmware upgraded via
Bluetooth communications with PSM or via the SD card. This keeps your meter from getting out of date
and saves you the trouble of returning it to the factory for an upgrade.
Contact ATP for information regarding firmware upgrade options.
To upgrade via PSM,
click on “Tools” on the main menu of PSM and then
click “Firmware Upgrade”. The Firmware Upgrade window will pop up.
Locate the firmware upgrade file and then click on Upgrade. The process
will take about 2 minutes at 57.6 kbps. Detailed instructions will be
provided by ATP.
