Making Configuration Changes
Regardless of the interface you use, when you make configuration changes
to a device you are either changing a value in a module’s setup register or
you are changing the linkage between two or more modules. The types of
configuration changes discussed in this chapter are changes to the settings
held in module setup registers.
The 9700 Power Meter is factory-configured for optimal operation. After
basic setup is performed, you do not need to make any modifications to
the device’s configuration for normal use.
Changing the settings in a module’s setup registers changes the way the
device operates. Carefully consider any change you intend to make before
proceeding.
Adding or deleting links between modules significantly alters the operation
of the device, and should only be performed by experienced personnel.
