Using ViewPoint to Verify Setup
ViewPoint can be used to verify the connection setup of the PowerScout.
1.
Start the ViewPoint software.
2.
Select the PowerScout settings on the
Communications
screen
and click the
Connect
button. The Status window displays the
message “PS3 Mark II connection opened using: COM4 9600
8N1”, when communication is established.
3.
Click the
Realtime Values
tab and click the
Update
button.
The table in the middle of the screen updates. The values display for Volts, Amps, KW, etc., and
should make sense, meaning the values in the table are relevant for the service being measured.
This indicates the PowerScout is verified.
It may also be useful to use a handheld amp meter to test the current and compare its readings to the
values provided on the
Realtime Values
screen in ViewPoint.
Note
: The status message
displays the communication
parameters specific to the
setup.
