Viewing Files On-line
Sometimes, it is useful to review a particular piece of
historical data on-line at the time you expect new events to
appear in the log. Power Software allows you to retrieve
historical data from a particular log without storing it to a file.
The data appears only in the window on your screen. You can
save it manually to the database.
To view the log data on-line, check the On-line button
on
the Power Software toolbar, select the log you want to
retrieve in the Logs menu, and then click on the Poll button
. Only new log records are retrieved from the device. If
you want to review the entire log from the beginning, click on
the Restore log button
, and then click on the Poll button
.
NOTES
1. When reading multi-section profile data and PQ
statistics files, only a first section is available for
reading online.
2. There is a difference between reading waveforms on-
line and viewing waveform files. Online waveforms are
read one record a time, so a multi-record waveform
series may not be viewed as a single waveform.
See Chapter 9 Viewing Log Files and Reports for information
on using different log views.
Retrieving Waveforms On-line on Events
Looking after a specific event in a waveform file may take
much time, especially with low-speed serial communications.
If you find an event in the event log, PQ log or Fault log file
for which a waveform has not been yet retrieved, you can
instruct Power Software to read it for you and store in the
meter database without the need to read the entire file.
See Reading and Storing Waveforms On-line in Chapter 9 on
how to get a waveform from the meter for a specific event.
Exporting Files
Exporting Files in COMTRADE and PQDIF Formats
The COMTRADE and PQDIF file converters allow you to
convert waveforms into COMTRADE or PQDIF file format, and
data log tables – into PQDIF format.
Manual Converting
