Chapter 6 - The PowerView Display

The Startup Screen

When the system enable switch is switched to the “on” posi- tion, the “Startup Screen”appears. See figure 6-2. This screen is the factory default, and can be user configured to display other information. Note that all PowerView screens will“time out” after ten minutes of inactivity. It reappears when any navigation key is touched. The startup screen displays the following information:

νFuel Percentage - The first line indicates the percentage of battery capacity (fuel) that is currently available.

νLoad Percentage - The second line indicates the percent- age of system capacity that is employed supporting the current load.

νVoltage and Input Frequency - The third line indicates the input voltage, output voltage, and the input frequency.

νRun time - The fourth line indicates the run time that can be expected, based upon the current load, and battery capacity.

The Top-Level Menu Screen

When the startup screen is displayed, pressing any of the navi- gation keys opens the “Top-Level Menu” screen. This screen contains seven menu items, and a context sensitive help func- tion. See Figure 6-3.

Fig 6-3Top-Level Menu Screen

The top-level menu screen is analogous to a menu bar at the top of a computer software interface. Selecting any of the seven menu items, and pressing the “enter” key opens a sub- menu. Menu items and functions are outlined below. In Chap- ter 7, the PowerView interface is used to power up the load equipment. Many of the following PowerView functions are explained in those procedures.
