The 9700 Power Meter provides many advanced features, including
comprehensive I/O, advanced interoperability support, and precision time
synchronization. In addition, the 9700 Power Meter’s functionality can be
customized to perform virtually any power monitoring and control
functions. Using advanced features often require s considerable
background knowledge — please be prepared to spend some time
familiarizing yourself with the information in this chapter and the Technical
Reference in Chapter 5.
This chapter discusses the creation of custom functionality, the use of I/O
and advanced communications protocols, and the creation of custom MGT
displays.
