At PSL, we make it easy to configure your PQube using our Configurator Program. This easy-to-use graphical
interface runs on Windows. Simply click on each tab to configure your power parameters, CT ratios, event trigger
thresholds, email addresses and more! When using the Configurator to edit your Setup.ini, it automatically adds
the new tags with each new firmware release.

 Download for free the PQube Configurator Program at http://www.powersensorsltd.com/PQube#config.

 Unzip the files.
 Run the executable to launch the PQube Configurator program.
 Click on 'File', 'Open' and select your Setup.ini file. This imports your existing Setup.ini parameters that
you have previously configured into the program. If you are starting from scratch, simply enter your
information into the existing template.

Match your Setup.ini with the PQube firmware version. For example, if you are upgrading from firmware 2.1.7 to
2.1.8, select ‘Firmware version 2.1.8’ from the drop down box.

 Click on each tab to configure your PQube settings. For example, if you are measuring current using
200A:0.333V CTs, click on the ‘AC Current’ and enter the Current Transformer ratio of 200:0.333. A CT
ratio is required in order for your PQube to correctly calculate your current readings.
 Move your mouse over the comment section to get detailed information on the settings.

 When you are done editing your Setup.ini, click on 'File', 'Save’. Do not rename the file. The PQube only
recognizes ‘Setup.ini’. Don’t forget to copy over your new Setup.ini file to your PQube! You can copy it
directly onto to the SD card, transfer it via FTP, or upload it via the PQube’s web page. Your PQube
requires a reboot to load your new settings.

Example of saving your Setup.ini directly onto the SD card.
