CE AND OPERATING SOFTWARE
The standard setting of the RS-232 Interface at Power Analyzer start-up is 9600 Baud
and string terminators CR (carriage return) LF (line feed). Other Baudrates are not
available.
The Windows Operating Software for option 01 contains modules to control the Power
Analyzer, read data, and store data in EXCEL-compatible format. You can choose from
the complete set of measurement quantities and you can select the number of quantities
you want to display.
The software masks for the single phase and the 3-phase Power Analyzer look
essentially the same and also have similar features. The 3-phase masks display three
phase values and their sum or their average whereas the single phase masks read only
one value (value of phase L1) per measurement quantity you selected.
The software installation procedure and the software manual are supplied in a
readme.txt file with your software package. Please consult it for more information.

STEP 1:
Disconnect the power line-cord from Power Analyzer.
STEP 2:
Remove the Power Analyzer hood by removing 4 screws on each side
panel.
STEP 3:
Lift up the hood of the case.
STEP 4:
Remove the red calibration jumper using a pair of pincers or a pair of
pliers (Figure 8.1).
CAUTION: Do not forget to reinstall the calibration jumper when
calibration is done.
STEP 5:
Put the hood back in place. Connect the line-cord and turn Power
Analyzer on.
