<Next> brings up a series of screens that
show information on the inverter's
charger and other battery-related
functions, and on any inverter-based
warnings or errors that may be present.
These screens are shown beginning on
page 37.
<Graph> brings up a series of screens
that plot various battery information
over time. The graphs include inverter
and charger wattage, power imported
from an AC source, battery voltage, and
others. These screens are shown
beginning on page 40.
<Port> cycles through each device
connected to the network.

Screen Items:
The upper left corner of the screen shows the inverter's current
mode of operation. All possible modes are listed above. However,
available modes may vary with inverter model and system type.
See the inverter Operator's Manual for details on each mode.
Invert displays the power in kilowatts currently generated by the
inverter. This power may go to loads, or in a grid-interactive
system, it may be sold back to the utility grid.
Charge displays the power in kilowatts currently consumed for the
inverter to charge the battery bank.
Load displays the power in kilowatts currently consumed by
devices on the inverter's output. May or may not be the same
number as Invert.
Buy displays the power in kilowatts brought into the inverter's
input for both charging and loads. This usually reads as a total of
the Charge and Load items.
Battery displays the uncompensated battery voltage.
AC Out displays the AC voltage measured at the inverter's output.
If an AC source is present, this reading is usually the same as AC In.
AC In displays the AC voltage measured at the inverter's input from
an AC source.
The lower right corner shows the current status of the inverter's
Auxiliary (AUX) output. (See page 83.)
