CAPTURE FILE
36
* Setup is performed on initial
installation, but can be edited at
any time by going to the Setup
via the Start Menu.
37
* You can choose to have InPower automatically
perform a capture file when you connect to a
device, ask before performing a capture file, or
neither.
38
D:\Program Files\Power
Generation\Shared\Captured Files
* This is a sample storage location
for Capture Files. This may vary
depending on user setup.
39
* When you double click Capture Files, this is
what it will open to. These files are the same as
in your hard drive storage location (previous
screen).
40
To manually create a
capture file, you can:
-Click Device Capture to
file…, or
- Right click device and
select Capture to file…
41
CAPTURE FILE - Compare
42
* Compare feature is used to compare two files. This is usually a capture
file and the device that you are currently connected to.
- To compare files, make sure you have the two files you would like to
compare opened. After they are open, right click one of the files and
43
select compare.
* The parameters on the left are from the first file you applied
to the compare feature. To apply a second file, left click and
drag the to the right box. This will create two files to

* In order to perform a drag and drop of files you need
to have both the Capture File open and be connected
to the control.
47
You will then left click the Control in your Capture file and drag
it onto the control you are connected to. Once you have
dropped it on the control you are connected to, you will receive
a pop-up that asks if you want to modify its values. If you want
to click “Yes”. After you are done, you will need to Save the
48
adjustments.
* If you only want to change parameters from one folder
instead of the whole file, you can do that by clicking on
the specific file folder and dragging to the control you
are connected to.

SYSTEM
77
Using the Start Menu will allow you to
access the Fault Information System
(FIS). You can also access the FIS
when InPower is opened and
connected to a device.

Not all fault codes will be on here, so utilize this tool plus your Service Manuals.
Another way of viewing FIS
info, and most commonly
used, is by right-clicking on
the fault code and selecting
“View Fault Info…”.
80
For any information you are
unable to find by using the
FIS, use QuickServe Online
(QSOL). This is a good
location for manuals and
additional genset data.
