1 The enCore/enSuite Concept
enCore is the name of an Elster product platform for advanced
measurement devices. All enCore devices are based on the same hardware
components and software concepts. Both the hardware and software of
enCore devices have a modular design; the configuration of the process
board equipment is variable, just like the arrangement of software
components. On one hand, the software components consist of basic
functionalities, which are provided by the Basic System with its System
Function Blocks (abbreviated as: SFBs), and on the other hand of
application-related functionalities, which come with different Application
Function Blocks (abbreviated as: AFB). Owing to this modular design
principle, each device can be optimally adapted to individual requirements.
enSuite is the name of the PC software supporting all enCore devices along
with a number of other Elster devices. The enSuite software provides tools
for configuration, parameterization, diagnosis, software downloads and other
services.
Parameterization in enSuite

of enSuite are enabled in the device only when you activate the
action Transfer parameterization to device and the device FC1
restarts automatically.
