The Status Screens
8.5. The Current Metering Status Screen
The Current Metering Status screen is primarily intended to be used to display up-to-
date readings for Amps, Watts, Voltage and temperature for VMR Series unit. In NPS
Series units, the Current Metering Status Screen will only include temperature and
voltage information. To view the Current Metering Log screen, proceed as follows:
Note: Although NPS Series units do not support current and power metering
functions, the /M command can still be invoked on NPS Series units to display
the Current Metering Status Screen. Note however, that when the Current
Metering Status Screen is displayed on an NPS Series unit, only temperature
and voltage values will be displayed and current and power values will be listed
as zero (0.0.)
In addition to displaying the Current Metering Status Screen, the /M command can also
be used to display current, voltage and power readings for each switched outlet on VMR
Series units. Note however, that when the /M command is invoked on NPS Series units,
the resulting screen will only display voltage values; current and power values will not
be included on NPS Series units. When the /M command is invoked, the command line
can also include arguments that display the status of individual outlets, specific pairs of
outlets or a range of outlets:
/M Displays the Current Metering Status Screen.
/M s Displays current, voltage and power readings for an individual plug or
outlet, where s is the name or number of the desired outlet.
/M s+s Displays current, voltage and power readings for two or more specific
outlets, where s is the number or name of each desired outlet. A plus sign
(+) is entered between each outlet number or name.
/M s:s Displays current, voltage and power readings for a range of outlets, where
s is the number or name of the outlet at the beginning and end of the range
of desired outlets. A colon (:) is entered between the two outlet numbers or
names that mark the beginning of the range and the end of the range.
/M a Displays current, voltage and power readings for Branch A.
/M b Displays current, voltage and power readings for Branch B.
Notes:
• When current, voltage and power readings are displayed for a single outlet,
pair of outlets or range of outlets, readings for each outlet specified will be
displayed as three values separated by commas. Current will be displayed
first, then voltage, then power.
• When the /M command is invoked on an NPS Series unit, current and power
readings will not be included. Instead, a zero will be displayed in place of
current and power.
To display the Current Metering Status Screen, proceed as follows:
• TextInterface: Type /M and press [Enter].
• WebBrowserInterface(VMROnly): Place the cursor over the "Current Metering"
link on the left hand side of the screen. When the fly-out menu appears, click on
the "Current Metering Status" link.
