Chapter 1 - Introduction 
The ION meter in an Enterprise Energy Management 
System
Applications that include the meter typically require additional equipment. 
Display and analysis software tools are almost always used to manage, interpret 
and distribute the data measured or logged by a meter. There are usually a variety 
of tools used, and often these tools are connected using different communications 
standards and protocols. In many cases, a meter must also provide control 
capabilities and device-level data sharing.
The meter can adapt to many situations. Advanced communications allow data to 
be shared simultaneously across multiple networks, built-in I/O provides 
monitoring and control capabilities, and a variety of display and analysis tools can 
be used to monitor your power system. 
Data Display and Analysis Tools
Not only does the meter’s front panel allow meter configuration and data display, 
but the meter also integrates seamlessly with display and analysis software 
available from Power Measurement. ION Enterprise software is the network and 
device configuration software that also lets you analyze and monitor your system 
and produce reports for any department in an organization. Furthermore, you can 
use data acquired by the meter in a variety of third-party systems. ION software is 
designed to make use of all the available advanced capabilities.
