Chapter 1 Introduction
PowerLogic™ ION™ Setup is a user friendly configuration tool that provides an
intuitive environment for setting up and verifying settings on PowerLogic meters
and other devices. Devices can be configured over communications links whether
they are locally or remotely located. Hard drive footprint and memory requirements
for ION Setup are minimal, so it is easy to install and use.
Typically, you can perform basic setup through the meter’s front panel or remote
display. ION Setup is mainly used for configuring advanced features of the meter,
or for setting up a meter that does not have a front panel or remote display.
