ION
ION is the architecture of your meter.
The basic building blocks of ION architecture are the ION modules, each of which is specialized to perform a specific task and contains data and instructions on how to manage that data. ION modules are linked together to create the meter’s functions and features. ION modules that are linked together to perform a specialized task are called a framework, such as the Power Quality framework. These different functional frameworks are then grouped together to define the entire meter and are collectively referred to as the device template.
Your meter ships with a default device template which provides extensive capabilities. You can also configure the meter’s template to modify existing meter functions or to create new functions.
