10. Flow Computer Setup Software
The ES749 setup program provides for conguring, monitoring and controlling a ES749 unit.
Sample applications are stored in disk les. The setup program calls these Templates. You
can store the setup from the program’s memory to either the ES749 (Downloading the le)
or to a disk le (Saving the le) for later usage. Similarly you can load the setup in program
memory from either a disk le (Opening a le) or from the ES749 unit (Uploading a le).
The program can monitor outputs from the unit while it is running.
The program can reset alarms and totalizers.
The peak demand may be reset when the option is supplied.
For assistance there are mini-helps at the bottom of each screen in the program. There is
also context sensitive help available for each screen accessible by pressing the F1 key.
