Custom Front Panel Displays	ION 7500 / ION 7600 User’s Guide

ION meters ship with preconfigured display screens. Most users find that the data displayed by the front panel Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen suits their needs entirely. However, the data display screens can be customized to show virtually any parameter that is measured or calculated by the meter. For example, you could do one or all of the following with Designer software:

change displayed parameters, such as from Vll to Vln or Vllab to Vlna

aggregate displays from multiple meters, such as using a meter’s front panel display to view data collected by one or more TRAN units

adjust character size to be different on each screen

change data display settings such as backlight timeout, automatic display scrolling, parameter update rate and display mode

Furthermore, the meter’s Trend Display screen simultaneously graphs the historical data of up to four different parameters. A Trend Display log screen displays the data logs for any graphed parameter.

In order to customize your front panel display screens, you must make changes to ION modules that belong to the display framework. The technical note Custom Front Panel Displays has complete details on personalizing your meter’s display screens.

Creating a Front Panel Reset

The meter’s factory configuration allows some External Pulse modules to be triggered from the “User Resets” screen in the meter Setup menu. To define a custom reset, you must use ION software to link one of these External Pulse modules to the Reset input of the module that holds the value that you want to reset.
