Software Interface
EnerVista 8 Series Setup Software
Although settings can be entered manually using the control panel keys, a PC can be used
to download setpoints through the communications port. The EnerVista 8 Series
Setup software is available from GE Multilin to make this as convenient as possible. With
EnerV
ista 8 Series Setup software running, it is possible to:
• Program and modify settings
• Load and save setting files to and from a disk
• Read actual values
• Monitor status
• Read pre-trip data and event records
• Get help on any topic
• Upgrade the 869 firmware
The EnerVista 8 Series Setup software allows immediate access to all 869 features with
ea
sy to use pull down menus in the familiar Windows environment. This section provides
the necessary information to install EnerVista 8 Series Setup software, upgrade the relay
f
irmware, and write and edit setting files.
The EnerVista 8 Series Setup software can run without a 869 connected to the computer.
In this case, set
tings may be saved to a file for future use. If a 869 is connected to a PC and
