In the "V, A, Hz, +", "Power" and "Energy" screens, use
 (Show Menu) or the cursor keys to see a list of
available parameters. Use  to select a parameter and
confirm the selection with .
Tables update with each new average calculation interval
at a maximum of every 5 seconds. Push  (Refresh)
to update charts on request.
V, A, Hz, + (Load studies: A, Hz, +)
You can determine the average value measured over the
logging duration as well as minimum/maximum values with
high resolution.

The algorithm to calculate Voltage min/max values is in
accordance to established power quality standards to
detect dips, swells, and interruptions.
Watch for values exceeding ±15 % of the nominal voltage.
This is an indicator of power quality problems.
High maximum values on Currents can be an indicator for
tripping circuit breakers.

Push  (Graph) to display the measured values in a
chart. The table on the right side of the screen shows the
highest and lowest value of the graph measured with the
average calculation interval. Triangular indicators point to
the measurement value.
Power
Not available on load studies without a nominal
voltage.
Review the power values in tabular format and as a time
chart. Depending on the power parameter or the average
value measured over the logging duration, additional
values are available:
Parameter
Active Power (W)
Apparent Power (VA)
Non-active Power (var)
Power Factor
Active Power fund. (W)
Apparent Power fund. (VA)
Reactive Power (var)

For all power values, except PF and DPF, the three
highest values during the logging session are available.
Use  (Reverse Power/Forward Power) to toggle
between Top-3 forward and Top-3 reverse values.
