Offline Settings File Conversion
The EnerVista 8 Series Setup software supports conversion of offline settings files created
in the SR Series platform. The feature allows users, who have SR devices, to convert their
existing offline settings files to 8 Series files and write them to their 889
devices.
The EnerVista 8 Series Setup software reduces the manual effort required when moving
from an older product to the 889. The feature takes an existing settings file provided by the
user and generates a new settings file compatible with the 8 Series order code specified
by the user. After the import is complete, the results are displayed in an interactive results
window.
Convert SR 489 Files EnerVista 8 Series Setup version 1.6x supports conversion of SR 489 files above version 4.0
only to 889 settings files. For files below version 4.0x, first convert these files to version 4.x
using the EnerVista 489 Setup software before doing the 889
conversion.
The conversion can only be initialized with EnerVista from the Offline/New Settings File
commands located in the taskbar.
1. In the menu taskbar, click on Offline and select the New Settings File item. The
following Create New Settings File dialog box appears, which allows for the setpoint
file conversion.
2. Select the Firmware Version and Order Code option for the new setpoint file.
3. For future reference, enter some useful information in the Description box to facilitate
the identification of the device and purpose for the file.
4. To select the file name and path for the new file, click the button beside the File Name
box.
5. To select the SR settings file used for initialization, click the Initialize Settings from SR
Settings File button.
