Model 3418 GUSM
• Chord F
• Chord G
• Chord H
allow you to choose a name for the Waveform file.
A default name based on the Meter Name, the type of waveform collected, and PC
date and time is suggested. Change the name or default location if desired. Click

Parameters dialog for the selected chord. This dialog displays the parameter's label,
value and units. Some of the Tracking parameters included are Gain, Hold time,
Time (stamp), Maximum Signal Quality, Peak width, Peak Position, and Peak Zero
Crossing for upstream and downstream signals. These parameters are used in the
diagnostics of field conditions.

Excel file will contain three worksheets. The first worksheet called Charts contains
charts for each of the waveforms collected. The second worksheet called Raw Data
contains the waveform data to make the charts. The third worksheet called
Tracking contains the tracking parameters for the chord.
be played back on a simulator. This U.S. Patented feature is useful to allow Daniel to
reproduce any field specific conditions.
a) Click the Stream to file checkbox and wait for the waveforms to start
streaming to the screen. The meter is returning raw waveforms just as they
are received without any stacking or filtering.
b) Click Record to start saving all of the raw waveforms to file. The collection of
waveforms can be paused and resumed without having to start a new file.
Clicking Stop gives you the option to save the data collected to file. The file
will have a .strm extension. There is no utility in Daniel MeterLink to playback
these files. The files are only for use internally by Daniel on special diagnostic
tools. Clearing the Stream to file checkbox stops the streaming mode and
returns the Waveform Viewer back to its normal mode of operation.
Note
The file created with the Diagnostic collection grows quite rapidly. Typically when
connected via Ethernet to the meter, the file can easily take up 2.5 megabytes per
minute. If the file must be e-mailed, many mail servers only allow 10 to 20
megabyte files or approximately 4 to 8 minutes of data.
waveform chart utility include:
• Scrollbar - enables horizontal and vertical scrollbars on the chart.
