ION 7500 / ION 7600 User’s Guide Changing Default Display Frameworks
Custom Front Panel Displays Technical Note Page 197
The order in which data displays depends on the numbering of the Display
modules. Therefore, the data linked to Display module 1 is displayed on the first
front panel screen and so on. Scrolling between the display screens is done with
the up/down arrow buttons on the front of the meter.
To view all Display, Display Options, and Scroll modules at once:
Launch Designer and continue with the instructions which follow below your
particular meter type.
For the ION 8000 Series and ION 7500 / ION 7600 meters:
6. Double-click on the Advanced Setup folder in the main meter configuration
screen. The label above the folder reads “Frameworks.”
7. Double-click on the folder labeled “Display Framework.”
For the ION 7300 Series:
1. Double-click the Meter Display Setup folder in the main meter configuration
screen. The label below the folder reads “Display Modules.”
All Display modules and a shortcut to the Display Options module appear.
Changing Default Display Frameworks
The factory-configured Display framework uses many of the Display modules
available in the meter. Only a few of the default screens have room for extra data.
To make a significant modification to the existing display framework, you either
have to create new display modules and configure them, or change the links and
settings of the modules in the existing Display framework (or both).
Four common customizations are discussed in the following sections:
◆ removing a display screen
◆ adding a new display screen
◆ replacing the parameters in an existing display screen
◆ creating custom trend bar graphs (ION 7500 and ION 7600 only)
Making a Framework Backup
Before you reconfigure or delete a framework, you should make a copy. This
ensures that you can restore the framework without having to reinitialize the
factory configuration.
To make a framework copy:
1. Select the desired framework.
2. Choose Copy to Framework from the Edit menu.
Give the framework a unique name. Select a different location in which to save
the framework, if you so desire.
3. Click Ok.
