10. Flow Computer Setup Software
The SP4000 setup program provides for configuring, monitoring and controlling a SP4000
unit.
Sample applications are stored in disk files. The setup program calls these
Templates. You
can store the setup from the program’s memory to either the SP4000 ( Downloading the file)
or to a disk file ( Saving the file) for later usage. Similarly you can load the setup in program
memory from either a disk file ( Opening a file) or from the SP4000 unit (Uploading a file).
The program can monitor outputs from the unit while it is running.
The program can reset alarms and totalizers.
The peak demand may be reset when the option is supplied.
For assistance there are mini-helps at the bottom of each screen in the program. There is
also context sensitive help available for each screen accessible by pressing the F1 key.
