etering/Operation.
Operation
Operation tab parameters and controls are illustrated in Figure 5-34 and described in the following
paragraphs.
DECS-200 BESTCOMS software provides real-time monitoring of the following data. This data is
refreshed approximately once every second. Metering is enabled or disabled through the pull-down menu
or by clicking the Metering button.
Real-time metering values on the Operation tab are refreshed approximately once per second. Metering
is enabled or disabled through the Metering menu on the menu bar or by clicking the Metering button.
