4.5.2 Programming in MSView
Beyond the preset DIP switch options, the Pro-
Star’s charging profile and all other settings are
customizable using MSView PC software available at:
http://www.morningstarcorp.com/msview/
With a connection to a PC, and using the ProStar
Set-up Wizard, the software is capable of editing all
charging and lighting parameters for upload to the
controller. The Set-up Wizard, and topics within the
Help tab describe programming procedures in detail.
All aspects of connection and programming are
covered in the Product Connectivity Manual:

4.5.3 Meter Display Operation
4.5.3.1 Directional Key Use and Operation /
Navigating the Meter Map
The ProStar’s meter map consists of two main axes:
The horizontal top level daily monitoring screens,
and the vertical Main Menu stacked screens. The
four lighted triangular directional control keys
allow movement to reach any desired point on the
meter map. A lit key indicates a valid direction in
the map. The current location is indicated on the
display with a column heading, and a bold descriptor.
4.5.3.2 Adjusting the Meter Display
The display setting options, as seen in Figure 4-6, are
adjustable by using the directional keys to locate and
edit a desired setting or variable.
4.5.4 Using the Meter Display to Program
Charging Set-points, Load Control, Communications,
and Advanced Settings
Refer to the complete meter map insert for metered
ProStars. From a top level monitoring screens, scroll
down to the Main Menu - “Custom Programming” -
screen. Select the desired category, and edit the vari-
able or settings as instructed in the meter display.
The Load Control category includes Normal (load
disconnect) and Lighting programming. The
Advanced Settings category includes more optional
charging, and load control settings.
4.5.5 Lighting Control - Programming Overview
The ProStar display has extensive lighting load pro
-
grammability. With DIP switch 1 ON (up), a dusk-dawn
lighting program is enabled, if lighting timing hasn’t
been programmed in MSView or using the meter; with
DIP 1, 4, 5, 6 ON, and the unit programmed, custom
timing will be in effect. With DIP 1 OFF (down), all
lighting control functions are disabled.
Using either MSView or the meter display, four
channels are available for setting timers that can work
separately, or in combination. See Section 4.5.6 -
Lighting Programming Using the Meter Display - for
