4.6 Using EnerVista Viewpoint with the PQMII
4.6.1 Plug and Play Example
EnerVista Viewpoint is an optional software package that puts critical PQMII information 
onto any PC with plug-and-play simplicity. EnerVista Viewpoint connects instantly to the 
PQMII via serial, ethernet or modem and automatically generates detailed overview, 
metering, power, demand, energy and analysis screens. Installing EnerVista Launchpad 
(see previous section) allows the user to install a f ifteen-day trial version of EnerVista 
Viewpoint . After the f ifteen day trial period you will need to purchase a license to continue 
using EnerVista Viewpoint . Information on license pricing can be found at 
http://www.enervista.com.
Install the EnerVista Viewpoint software from the GE EnerVista CD.
Ensure that the PQMII device has been properly configured for either 
serial or Ethernet communications (see previous sections for details).
Click the Viewpoint window in EnerVista to log into EnerVista 
Viewpoint. 
At this point, you will be required to provide a login and password if 
you have not already done so.

Click the Read Order Code button to connect to the PQMII device and 
upload the order code. 
If a communications error occurs, ensure that communications values 
entered in the previous step correspond to the relay setting values.
Click OK when complete.
From the EnerVista main window, select the IED Dashboard item to 
open the Plug and Play IED dashboard. 
An icon for the PQMII will be shown.

5.1 Introduction
5.1.1 Setpoint Entry Methods
Prior to operating the PQMII, it is necessary to program setpoints to def ine system 
characteristics and alarm settings by one of the following methods:
• Front panel, using the keys and display.
• Rear terminal RS485 port COM1 or COM2, or front RS232 port and a computer 
running the EnerVista PQMII Setup Software included with the PQMII, or from a 
SCADA system running user-def ined software.
Either of the above methods can be used to enter the same information. However, a 
computer makes information entry considerably easier. Moreover, a computer allows 
setpoint f iles to be stored and downloaded for fast , error-free entry. The EnerVista PQMII 
Setup Software included with the PQMII facilitates this process. With this software, 
setpoints can be modif ied remotely and downloaded at a later time to the PQMII. Refer to 
4.4: Using the EnerVista PQMII Setup Software for additional details.
Setpoint messages are organized into logical groups or pages for easy reference. 
Messages may vary somewhat from those illustrated because of installed options, and 
messages associated with disabled features will be hidden. This context sensitive 
operation eliminates confusing detail. Before accurate monitoring can begin, the setpoints 
on each page should be worked through, entering values either by local keypad or 
computer.
The PQMII leaves the factory with setpoints programmed to default values. These values 
are shown in all setpoint message illustrations. Many of these factory default values can be 
left unchanged. At a minimum, however, setpoints that are shown shaded in 5.3.1: Current 
and Voltage Configuration must be entered for the system to function correctly. As a 
safeguard, the PQMII will alarm and lock-out until values have been entered for these 
setpoints. The 
CRITICAL SETPOINTS NOT STORED alarm message will be displayed until the 
PQMII is programmed with these critical setpoints.
