Commands
Blink Meter LED
Makes the LED status indicator on the housing front of the selected digitalSTROM Meter blink.

Test Transmission Quality
Checks the transmission quality of the down- and upstream communication to all active digitalSTROM Devices connected to a digitalSTROM Meter and shows the connection quality in a dialogue after test completion.
To test the worst case, all possible consumers (TVs, computers) in the corresponding power circuit should be switched on.
Use this command:
- To check the communication/reliability of newly installed and configured digitalSTROM components
- To analyse problems which you suspect to relate to the transmission quality.
 
”dSM Name”
Name of the digitalSTROM Meter whose transmission quality is being tested.
”dSM ID”
Unique identifier of the digitalSTROM Meter whose transmission quality is being tested.
”Number of Devices”
Number of digitalSTROM Devices connected to the digitalSTROM Meter.
”Number of queries per device”
Number of test sequences (telegrams) per connected digitalSTROM Device.
”Average value”
Average reception quality for telegrams sent upstream and downstream during the test.
”Min”
Minimum reception quality for telegrams sent upstream and downstream during the test.
”Max”
Maximum reception quality for telegrams sent upstream and downstream during the test.
”Lost queries”
Total number of telegrams for which no responding telegram was received.
 
Use the View report button to view the test results.
Use Download report to save the test results in HTML format on your computer.
 
Check device presence
Checks the presence of digitalSTROM Devices registered in the digitalSTROM Meter. This test is used to update the device list. digitalSTROM Devices registered with the digitalSTROM Meter which are physically not present are displayed as inactive (grey). The digitalSTROM Meter automatically tests the device availability every 24 hours.
 
Use this command:
- If you want to use previously inactive digitalSTROM Devices again in the digitalSTROM power circuit and want to update the presentation of inactive digitalSTROM Devices in the list.
- If you have physically removed digitalSTROM Devices from the digitalSTROM power circuit and want to delete them permanently from the system. Only digitalSTROM Devices presented as inactive can be deleted.
Reregister all devices
All digitalSTROM Devices physically connected to the digitalSTROM Meter are registered anew in the digitalSTROM Meter.
Use this command:
- If you are restoring previously deleted digitalSTROM Devices in the installation
- If correctly connected digitalSTROM Devices are not listed in the digitalSTROM Configurator.
Beschreibung: X:\Sources\tool icons\identify_device.png Identify device
Shows the properties of the digitalSTROM Device on which a push button was last used (push button block or housing push button).
The command Identify device allows you to easily check the dSID of installed digitalSTROM Devices and can be used to attribute names to those devices.
”dSM”
Name of the digitalSTROM Meter to which the digitalSTROM Device is connected.
”dSID”
Unique identifier of the digitalSTROM Device
”HW Info”
Hardware specifications of the digitalSTROM Device
”Push button input”
Input number (only for digitalSTROM push button blocks with several inputs)
”Name”
Name of the digitalSTROM Device. The name of the digitalSTROM Device can be modified directly in the dialogue. Use Save to save the specified/modified name. After saving the dialogue is ready to display the next digitalSTROM Device.

X:\Sources\tool icons\dsm_settings.png Edit system properties
Opens the dialogue for editing the properties of the selected digitalSTROM Meter.

”Lock newly registered devices”
The locking of newly registered devices prevents impermissible digitalSTROM Devices from being registered in the digitalSTROM power circuit so activities or presets can be called up. With this function, an impermissible manipulation (e.g. by adding a digitalSTROM push button block to an external power socket) can be prevented.
The digitalSTROM installation does not respond to the inputs of locked digitalSTROM Devices. The output of a locked digitalSTROM Device contains the included function.
Locked digitalSTROM Devices are displayed in the device list in red and correspondingly marked.
The lock can be deactivated in the context menu of the device list
To open the context menu, click the right mouse button while the locked digitalSTROM Device is selected.
 
 
Rename dsM
Opens the dialogue to rename the selected digitalSTROM Meter.
The name of the digitalSTROM Meter should preferably contain the room designation to ensure a clear allocation to specific rooms (e.g. for energy visualisation).
View communication
Presentation of the communication log files for the communication between the selected digitalSTROM Meter and the digitalSTROM Devices registered therein.

G:\aizo\002_Dokumente AHB IHB PHB (Working)\Translated Sources\FR\Sources\tool icons\device_status.png View protocol for device update
Opens the protocol for the update of the device, which is automatically executed for digitalSTROM Meters in connection with a firmware update.

The protocol contains detailed information regarding the status of the devices installed in the digitalSTROM power circuit, their firmware version and the time of the last status change. After the update has ended successfully, all devices should have the status ”Update”.

The protocol is of considerable benefit in detailed troubleshooting or for support requests. The protocol can be downloaded as an HTML file as necessary.

G:\aizo\216 Installations-Handbuch\Documents\Word Funktionsbeschreibung\img\icons\delete.png Delete device
Deletes the selected digitalSTROM Device from the device list.
Only applies to digitalSTROM Devices which are inactive (grey).
Inactive digitalSTROM Devices and those physically removed from the installation stay registered in the digitalSTROM Meter (e.g. seasonal decorative lighting).
Delete digitalSTROM Devices that are no longer used from the system. digitalSTROM Devices which were deleted and later re-integrated into the system can be registered again in the Hardware main section with Reregister All Devices. See also chapter 5.3.1.
