Viewing internal registers of PM8000 in ION Setup

[ausfrosty1]

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to view the current value(s) in internal registers of a PM8000 through ION Setup.

For instance if I have an arithmetic block with two inputs(sources) and one output (result) is there a way to see what the current values of those inputs and output are?

I have attempted to use a custom display and browse for those registers but no compatible registers are found as per the attached screenshot.

Yes, here are two methods:

1. The method you chose works fine for me to show any output on a Display (up to 6 values per display, and the PM8000 now has up to 40 custom displays on v4.0.0).

Aha I see there was a known issue with older versions of ION Setup. https://www.se.com/ca/en/faqs/FA253222/

2. To temporarily see the values within the ION Setup Advanced Configuration, hold the shift button down on your keyboard when clicking on the Input and Output tab.

Hi Dan,

Your second option works. On the first one however I am not sure what my issue is as I have ION Setup 3.2.23004.01 installed.

Firmware of the meter is as per the screenshot. I will attempt to upgrade the firmware to v4.0 which I see has just become available to see if this remedies the issue.

Thanks for the assistance.

Hi Dan,

I have just upgraded to firmware v4.0 and can now see all variables to add to custom displays. Thanks for your help!
