To configure a status event exchange:
1.
Define the device address for a status event exchange. Note that the
real-time, status event and write data exchanges with the same
exchange number are internally linked in the ETC II to the same device
address.
2.
Specify the device status register address you wish to be polled via the
exchange.
3.
Specify the event mask for bits you wish to be checked for events.
4.
Check the “Polling Enabled” box to activate the exchange.
5.
Check the “Auto Reset” box if you want the status register to be cleared
after polling.
Write Data Exchanges
To enter the Setup dialog, select the ETC II site from the list box on the PAS
toolbar, select ETC II Setup from the Meter Setup menu, and then click on
the Write Data Exchanges tab.
