Network Capability

The TR-2100 can be configured as part of an integrated monitoring network with multiple
recorders at sub-stations within a region. Display Station can be located at the regional
control center or headquarters. Communications between Display Station and the TR-2100s
may be by dial-up modem on an internal or external phone system, or by a TCP/IP network
connection on a company wide area network (WAN).

Printing

Transient fault records may be printed locally by the TR-2100 or remotely at Display
Station. The local printer can be any type that can emulate an Epson FX80 or IBM
Proprinter. Each record includes the location of the TR-2100, the time and date of the
record, and the source of the trigger. This is followed by a profile of the record with actual
signal levels, durations, and digital transition times measured from the data. The last section
of a record contains a graphical representation of the voltage and current signals and
auxiliary switch transitions.

Event Log

The TR-2100 maintains a log of event and error messages, which may be read by Display
Station. If an internal error is detected during a self-test, a message is sent to the printer (if
one is attached) and placed in the event log. The red 'Attention' LED and relay are then
activated until the message is read by Display Station.
