DATAVIEW Software Chapter 4
When a serial communication link is established, the DATAVIEW program
automatically identifies the instrument that it is connected to. A status screen
then appears.
Figure 3 - Status Screen
This screen shows the following:
• The status of PowerPad unit
• If the DATAVIEW software is connected to the PowerPad unit
• The communication port and speed of the connection
• The model number, serial number, and firmware revision
• If a database is open, and if so, its name, the battery charge level, whether
the battery is charging or discharging, and the time on the clock
• If a recording is in progress, and when it is scheduled to end
• If a delayed recording is scheduled, and when it is scheduled to begin
• Real-time waveforms and trend information from the PowerPad unit
The instrument must be configured for the same communications rate
specified in the Connections window shown on the previous page. If it
is not, then you must either select the corresponding rate or change
the instrument's rate.
If the indicated items are not shown on the screen, select Restore Default
Layout from the Window menu.
If the Battery charge is shown to be unknown, plug the PowerPad unit into an
AC Power source. When the batter charge reaches 100%, the display should
show the battery charge.
