SECTION 6 – GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE
The DVR
®
2000E+ Graphical User Interface (GUI) offers the user a means of programming the regulator and
monitoring generator performance. This Windows® based software is available as a free download from the
Marathon Electric website, www.marathonelectric.com. With this software, the user will be able to change all of
the user programmable parameters.
The GUI consists of a header, and three tabbed panels (Metering, Configuration and Identification). The
header displays regulator status and basic administration functions. The Metering tab displays metered quantities
and fault information. The Configuration tab permits regulator setting of all user programmable parameters. The
identification tab contains information specific to the regulator and allows for customer tags.

Load Factory Settings
When this button is pressed, the default factory settings for the regulator are loaded into the regulator’s volatile
memory (Random Access Memory or RAM). These factory settings can be transferred to the user settings in non-
volatilememory(ElectricallyErasableProgrammableReadOnlyMemoryorEEPROM)bypressingthe“Saveto
EEPROM”button.
Save to EEPROM
When this button is pressed, all parameter values in the regulator’s RAM (Configuration and Identification tabs)
are transferred to the regulator’s user settings in EEPROM. These user settings are loaded into RAM whenever the
