5.4.4 CALIBRATION
Calibration of the touchscreen display is carried out through the SETTING menu and selecting “Display”. At
this point calibration can be carried out by touching the touchscreen points automatically highlighted.
NOTE: in case of calibration errors, the PVI-DESKTOP may not respond correctly at display
touching. It is then necessary to connect the device to a PC via USB cable or Bluetooth (BT
models only) and use the Aurora Communicator Software (contained in the CD supplied)
allowing to open the calibration screen through the PVI-DESKTOP dedicated menu.
5.4.5 DATE AND TIME SETTING
Date and time setting is carried out through the SETTING menu and selecting “Date and time”. At this point
setting is possible by pressing + o – for each field.
5.5 SD CARD
The PVI-DESKTOP uses the SD card memory as archive of the data gathered by the inverters configured in
the system. Within the memory there are also folders relating to the proper operation of the system and
may allow the device FW update.
The SD card folders structure is shown below:
- THEME **
- LANGUAGE **
- SOUND **
- SYSTEM
- SNxxxxxx (1 folder for each field inverter)
The folders identified by ** are folders containing PVI-DESKTOP setting and must never be edited or
deleted to avoid losing the device's operating efficiency. In the event of accidental editing or deleting a
recovery copy of the SD card must be downloaded from the CD supplied.
The “SYSTEM” and “SNxxxxxx” folders contain and store data acquired during operation. These folders are
not present in the SD card by default but are automatically generated by the system as soon as the data
are acquired by the inverters.
• The folder marked “SYSTEM” contains all the system files. Within it, the files marked by the name
“DAYxxxx.xml” containing data about the power fed into the grid by all the inverters acquired
through the system.
• The folder “SNxxxxxx” contains the files concerning the inverter included in the list of the inverters of
the system. For each inverter acquired by the system there is a folder (thus even if a disassociation
has been carried out). Within the folder there are two types of file:
o “DAYxxxx.xml” containing data about the power fed into the grid by the inverter (daily).
o “DATA.xml” containing historical data from the memory of the inverter and gathered by
the PVI-DESKTOP during synchronisation.
NOTE: data from “DATA.xml” files are only partly recoverable because they derive from the
synchronisation of data contained in the inverter internal memory. Since the inverter memory
can only keep the data from the last 365 days, file deletion could cause loss of previously
acquired data which cannot be recovered . Therefore, it is advisable to carry out a copy of the
data, before deleting.
