1. The document provides instructions for configuring a new Vision outstation in DataLink, including defining the outstation number, name, passwords, phone number, type, and communication settings. It also describes how to configure an import kWh channel and retrieve current day's data from the Vision meter using DataLink. 2. In DataVision, the instructions say to create a map for the Vision meter defined in DataLink, link the meter property to the import kWh channel, and use report and chart templates to create a report and chart for the retrieved import kWh data. 3. Advanced exercises are suggested to create additional outstations in DataLink, retrieve multi-channel data, and generate more reports and

1. DataLink and DataVision
1. Using DataLink, define a new Vision meter outstation as follows
Outstation number = the number of your group TO _______
Outstation name = group one – group seven
New Password = FEDC0003
Old Password = default (--------)
Phone number = telephone number to which vision is connected
Outstation type = Vision
Communications method = Modem
Externally synchronised checked on
2. In the Edit Channels, configure channel 1 to Import kWh with a pulse value to
0.001
3. GoTo Comms Setup via the configeration menu and set the modem port to 2400
baud.
4. Using the period monitor option, retrieve the current days data from the Vision
meter.
5. Use the Edit Data facility to view the Import kWh retrieved data.
6. Then GoTo the Quick Data facility to view the Import kWh load profile.

2. DataVision
1. Using DataVision, create a map for your groups Vision meter.
2. Link the meter property (via right mouse “click”) into your vision meter defined
in Datalink and connect channel 1 to Import kWh.
3. Using the period_p.rep report template, create a report for the data retrieved in
DataLink.
4. Using the adv_per.tpl chart template, create a chart for the data retrieved in
DataLink.
Advanced Exercises
If time permits create further outstations in Datalink and retrieve data and create
multiple channel reports and graphs……
