Reading recordings

The Read Recordings from IED operation uploads the selected COMTRADE
recordings to the recordings folder in the local computer. On a successful read
operation, the computer icon in the first column is enabled indicating that the
recording is available locally in the computer for analysis.
The read operation is performed based on the IED's capability. If the IED is not
capable of reading the subset of recordings, all the recordings are read. If no
recordings are selected, all the recordings are read.
• On the PCM600 menu bar, select IED/IED Recordings/Read Recordings from
IED.
• Click the Read Recordings from IED toolbar button.
• Right-click the Disturbance Handling window and select Read Recordings
from IED in the shortcut menu.
• Double-click the IED recording.
The recordings with the IED icon enabled in the first column can only
be read.
If a recording is already read in the local computer, a warning appears
asking if the recording should be overwritten.

Using Event Viewer

Event Viewer displays the actual or history events stored in the IED. These events can
be sorted and filtered for easier examination, or they can be printed or exported to a
file.
1. In Plant Structure, click and IED.
2. On the Tools menu, click Event Viewer.
The Event Viewer window containing two tabs opens.
• IED events tab contains all events in a table format, the newest event on
top.
• Security events tab contains security events in a read-only format, the
newest security event on top.
