Changing the Frequency of Logging
The five Periodic Timer modules that control the frequency of different data
recording are as follows:
"Revenue Log Trg" controls the frequency of the logging of revenue values
"Loss Log Trg" controls the frequency of Loss Compensation Data logging
"EgyDmd Log Trg" controls the frequency of logging for the Energy and
Demand Log (this log is used for generating reports using Reporter)
"Hist Log Trg" controls the frequency of Historic Data logging
"Harm Log Trg" controls the frequency of Harmonics logging

OTE
The life of the flash memory is estimated at 40 to 50 years of read/writes under normal conditions. A
meter programmed to write data recorders in short intervals significantly reduces flash memory life.
Change the value in the Period setup register to change the frequency of data
logging (Period values are specified in seconds). Do not change the Sync Mode
setup register.
