GUI Software Features
Read-only Menu The GUI software provides access to the following “Read-only Menu”
information. See Table 2-2, “Read Menu Descriptions” on page 2–11 for a
specific list of available parameters.
• Operational Values
• Internal Metrics
Write-Menu The GUI software provides control of the following system parameters. These
parameters are in the Write Menu.
• User-Configurable Parameters. See Table 2-5, “Write Menu Parameters” on
page 2–16 for a specific list of available parameters.
Data Logging The GUI software provides the following data collection/reports (data logging).
These features are not available through the Universal Front Panel Control Unit
(UFCU).
• Operational Values - The present operational values (such as PV voltage and
current, grid network voltage and frequency, or inverter current and power)
can be read remotely.
• Internal Metrics - The inverter also maintains internal software metrics for
remote review by Xantrex field service or engineering.
• Data Log Acquisition - The inverter maintains a data log in non-volatile
memory for up to 30 days, after which the oldest data is overwritten. The GUI
reads this data and updates a local file that can be imported to a spreadsheet.
• Graphic Data Analysis - Local data log files generated by the GUI can be
imported to a spreadsheet application, thus giving the ability to create a
graphical chart for display and analysis.
• Fault Log Acquisition - The inverter maintains a log of faults (description,
time and date). This can be viewed remotely. The fault log is stored in the
inverter’s non-volatile memory, and is also read by the GUI and stored at its
computer in a text file.
• Accumulated Values - The inverter tracks power production statistics, such as
total energy sold, operating hours, power production hours, peak power and
energy, energy by month, and energy by the hour. Accumulated values are
stored in the inverter’s non-volatile memory, and are also read by the GUI and
stored at its computer in a text file.
• Configurable Parameters - The configuration parameters controlling the
inverter’s operation can be viewed and changed from a remote GUI.
See Table 2-3 on page 2–14 for a list of the Data Logging parameters available.
