Viewing Parameters
In configuration mode, any parameter value may be viewed. One method is to use the
Jump key to directly view database items. Press Jump and then enter the address of
the parameter followed by pressing the ent key. The top line on the display is the
software address, and the bottom line is the value. Function key assignments are still
valid, so often-viewed parameters may be accessed in this manner. The right and left
arrow keys  ) allow horizontal movement between processes, and the up and
down arrow keys allow moving vertically within a process. Pressing Jump
followed by the right arrow key ( will display the same item number in the next
section. Likewise, pressing Jump followed by the up arrow key will display the
same item number in the previous section. Jumping to assigned labels is also
supported as described in Display Mode.
Editing Parameters
1. Enter configuration mode by pressing the conf key (use the password if required).
2. Display the desired parameter. Press the jump key, followed by the address of the
parameter. The function keys can also be used to view assigned parameters.
3. With the desired parameter displayed, press the edit key. (The unit will display the
current parameter value and prompt for a new value.) Use the keypad to enter the
correct value and then press the ent key to execute the change. Pressing the esc
key when the RTU prompts for the new value will abort the change. Pressing the
ent key if nothing has been typed, also leaves the parameter unchanged.
Assigning Function Keys
In configuration mode, any item can be assigned to a function key as follows:
1. Enter configuration mode by pressing the conf key (use the password, if required).
2. Display the desired parameter. Press the jump key, followed by the address of the
parameter.
3. Assign a function key to the parameter. Press the jump key, the edit key, and then
the function key you wish to assign to the current item [F0 - F9].
Audit Trail
The RTU maintains an electronic audit trail file that records all parameter changes and
calibrations performed on the unit. Each entry is identified with the date and time the
event occurred. The contents of this file cannot be changed, providing a secure, non-
