Data Acquisition Features
A Powermonitor has on–board Snapshot logging capability which allows
each device to store instantaneous measured values (ex. Volts, Amps, kW,
kVAR, etc.) at user–defined intervals ranging from 1 second to 400 days.
A computer running the Powermonitor Software can up load and display
Snapshot Logs, and save an entire log to a disk file for analysis at a later
date. The Powermonitor Software disk files are stored in format that is easily
converted to a LOTUS 1–2–3
TM compatible format allowing users to apply
their own database application programs to generate any desired type of
report or graph. The use of this standard database file format also allows the
user to apply presently existing database application macros that have
already been developed.
Data Display Features
All real–time measured data, relay and status input conditions, and on–board
data logs can be accessed from a Powermonitor.
Operator Support
The Powermonitor Software provides an on–screen HELP utility which
provides information regarding communications, modem usage, and how to
obtain technical assistance should a user experience difficulties.
