The support PAS software is a configuration and data
acquisition tool that allows you to configure all of the
EM720 features, monitor your meter on-line, retrieve
recorded files and view reports. PAS can communicate
with your meter via any communication interface installed
in your meter, including the embedded infrared port, serial
ports, and the
communications.
This chapter gives information on how to install and run
PAS on your computer, and how to prepare information for
your meter using PAS. See Chapter 5
EM720 for instructions on how to configure particular
features in your EM720. Refer to Chapters 7 and 8 for
instructions on retrieving data from your meter and
viewing reports.
NOTE
PAS uses the Modbus RTU or Modbus TCP protocol for
communicating with the EM720. If you connect your PC to
the EM720 via s serial infrared or RS-232/RS-485 port,
ensure that the port is set to the Modbus RTU mode.
You need PAS V1.4 or higher to work with the EM720.
To install PAS on your PC:
1. Insert the installation CD supplied with your EM720
into CD drive.
2. Open My Computer on your Desktop.
3. Click on your CD drive icon, select the PAS
directory, and then double click on Setup (shown as
an Application type file).
4. Follow InstallShield® Wizard instructions on the
screen.
PAS is installed by default to the C:\Program Files\Pas
folder. If your user account rights do not allow writing to
the C:\Program Files\ folder, change the PAS default
installation folder to another folder to avoid possible ODBC
security problems when running PAS.
When installation is complete, the PAS icon appears on
your Desktop. Double click on the PAS icon to run PAS.
For general information on how to work with PAS, see the
"PAS Getting Started" guide supplied on the installation
CD.
