Setpoints must be saved to a file on the local PC before performing any firmware
upgrades. Saving setpoints is also highly recommended before making any setpoint
changes or creating new setpoint files.
The setpoint files in the window are accessed in the Files Window. Use the following
procedure to download and save setpoint files to a local PC.
1. Ensure that the site and corresponding device(s) have been properly defined and
configured as shown in Connecting to the Relay, above.
2. Select the desired device from the site list.
3. Select the Read Device Settings from the online menu item, or right-click on the
device and select Read Device Settings to obtain settings information from the
device.
4. After a few seconds of data retrieval, the software requests the name and destination
path of the setpoint file. The corresponding file extension is automatically assigned.
Press Receive to complete the process. A new entry is added to the tree, in the File
pane, showing path and file name for the setpoint file.
The EnerVista 8 Series Setup software provides the capability to review and manage a
large group of setpoint files. Use the following procedure to add an existing file to the list.
1. In the offline pane, right-click on Files and select the Add Existing Settings File item
as shown:
2. The Open dialog box will appear, prompting the user to select a previously saved
setpoint file. As for any other MS Windows® application, browse for the file to be
added then click Open. The new file and complete path will be added to the file list.
The software allows the user to create new setpoint files independent of a connected
device. These can be uploaded to a relay at a later date. The following procedure illustrates
how to create new setpoint files.
