Custom Front Panel Displays
Custom front panel displays can be created showing any data the meter measures
or calculates. Each display screen can be configured to display any measurements
you require. You can also adjust the size of the characters in each screen so you can
easily read the device’s display from farther away.
There are only eight display screens available for configuration. Since all eight of
the front panel’s screen displays are factory-configured, an existing display must
be changed if you want a custom display. Refer to “Default Front Panel Display
Screens” on page 25 and/or “Display Configuration” on page 50 for details on the
eight default display screens.
The technical note Custom Front Panel Displays has complete details for
personalizing your meter’s display screens.

Before Customizing the Front Panel

In order for the customized screens to be displayed in the front panel’s display, the
meter’s Display Mode must be properly set. Ensure that the Display Options
module’s Display Mode setup register is set to PROGRAMMABLE. This is the default
setting. If it is required, you can use the meter’s front panel or ACCESS software to
set this register.

Customizing Displays Using the Front Panel

The SCREEN SETUP menu screen allows you to change the data displayed on the
eight display screens using the front panel (see “Screen Setup Menu” on page34).

Customizing Displays Using Designer

The front panel display of the 9300 Series is controlled by the Display modules and
Display Options modules. Refer to the ION Programmer’s Reference for detailed
descriptions of the Display module and the Display Options module. Refer to
“ION Enterprise: Designer” on page83 for details on using Designer.
Display Module
A Display module controls which values are displayed on a display screen, and
how these values are presented. Up to four parameters can be linked to a Display
module — these parameters appear on the display screen when the module is
activated.
