maximum demands along with energy registers, then the number of sections
in the file will be twice the number of the allocated TOU registers.
To configure a TOU daily profile log file:
1. Configure your TOU registers and TOU schedule in the
meter before allocating memory for the profile log file (see
“Configuring Summary and TOU Registers”).
2. Double click on the DATA LOG #8 partition with the left
mouse button.
3. Select the TOU Daily profile file type for your file.
4. Select the number of season tariffs in your TOU schedule.
Add one additional parameter if you selected to record the
Summary (TOU total) registers as well.
5. Select the maximum number of records you want to be
recorded in the file assuming that a new record will be
added once a day.
6. Click OK and send your setup to the meter or save to the
database.
Configuring the Waveform Recorder
Waveform log files are organized as multi-section files that store data for
each recording channel in a separate section. A waveform log file stores 6
channels simultaneously: three voltage and three current channels.
A single waveform record for a channel contains 512 points of the sampled
input signal. If a waveform log is configured to record more samples per
event than a single record can hold, the waveform recorder stores as many
records per event as required to record the entire event. All waveform
records related to the event are merged in a series and have the same series
number, so that they can be plotted together.
The PM172EH supports two waveform files that record waveforms at two
fixed sampling rates:
• Waveform Log #1 – at 32 samples/cycle
• Waveform Log #2 – at 128 samples/cycle
To configure a waveform log file:
1. Double click on a waveform log partition with the left
mouse button.
2. Select a file type for your file.
3. Select the maximum number of records you want to be
recorded in the file.
The number of records in the waveform log file needed to
store one waveform event (series) is defined as follows:
