See
Parameters for Monitoring and Logging
for a full list of the electricity and status measurements
provided by the EM720.
All RMS quantities are based on 1/2-cycle true RMS
measurements as per IEC 61000-4-30.
Voltage and current harmonic measurements are based on
10-cycle/50Hz
IEC 61000-4-7), sampled at a rate of 128 samples/cycle.
The EM720 uses dynamic sampling techniques to maintain
a steady sampling rate and avoid instrumentation errors
when the line frequency changes.
