Tap this active area, located below Mode Status on the “home” page (Figure 2), to enter a new window of
operation for converter/rectifier updates and reports, see Figure 8 below:

4.4.1

Inventory Update

This button will enable the user to re-acquire all the attached modules to the CXC; to verify the existence of all
connected modules. Tap to evoke this command (and return to the home page).

A pop-up window (not shown here) will appear over the home page to show a progress bar of the number of
modules acquired during the update that has just been evoked. Tap the “X” button to clear the pop-up from the
active area.

Inventory update must be done whenever a module is removed from the system. The system is polled with
respect to the following scenarios:

 Module has failed and is no longer able to communicate, or
 User has removed a module from the system.

4.4.2

Rectifier Report (Converter Report similar)

This button (or menu item in 6.3.1) will enable the user to view, in a list (report), all of the acquired modules in the
system. Tap to evoke this command.

A new active area will be displayed, see Figure 9 below. The first column lists the serial numbers of the modules.
The report then displays the current output (A) of each module (or toggle for % of maximum output) and the
number of active alarms (if that module is issuing an alarm). The rightmost column displays the number of
settings out of tolerance (OOT per web interface).
