4.2 EnerVista 469 Setup Software Interface
4.2.1 Overview
The front panel provides local operator interface with a liquid crystal display. The EnerVista
469 Setup software provides a graphical user interface (GUI) as one of two human
interfaces to a 469 device. The alternate human interface is implemented via the device's
faceplate keypad and display (see the first section in this chapter).
The EnerVista 469 Setup software provides a single facility to configure, monitor, maintain,
and trouble-shoot the operation of relay functions, connected over serial communication
networks. It can be used while disconnected (i.e. off-line) or connected (i.e. on-line) to a 469
device. In off-line mode, Settings files can be created for eventual downloading to the
device. In on-line mode, you can communicate with the device in real-time.
This no-charge software, provided with every 469 relay, can be run from any computer
supporting Microsoft Windows
®
95 or higher. This chapter provides a summary of the
basic EnerVista 469 Setup software interface features. The EnerVista 469 Setup help file
provides details for getting started and using the software interface.
