Configuring APX Meters
With iConFig, users can create or edit configuration programs that can be downloaded into APX
meters. iConFig is a user-friendly software package that has been developed to configure,
troubleshoot, and read the APX meter. iConFig is designed to be a flexible,
Microsoft® Windows-based application that runs on:
Windows:
• 98SE
• NT 4.0
• 2000 (any version)
• Millennium Edition (Me)
• XP (any version)
iConFig is used to perform the following functions:
• Configure the meter using “Programs”
• Read the meter
• Generate reports
• Upgrade/Downgrade meter capabilities
• Update the firmware
The meter may be preprogrammed at the factory for basic commercial metering. Although
certain parameters are customizable when ordering the meters, additional configurations are
accomplished through iConFig. Refer to the online tutorials and the iConFig Start-up and User’s
Guide
iConFig configures the meter by converting the desired settings into hexadecimal code and then
downloads those settings to the tables within the meter (in accordance with ANSI 12.19).
