6.3 Adding a language package All language packages are available at www.eaton.eu. Every single one of these language packages is in the form of a language file named breakervisu_translation.xml. This file will always contain a language group consisting of English and two additional languages.
You can select the energy logging intervals you want. The energy data (active power, in kWh) of all connected devices will be written to a file accordingly. The file name will vary according to the configured logging interval (→ Table 42). BreakerVisu 06/16 MN01210001Z-EN www.eaton.com...
The minimum possible interval between two measurements is 10 s, i.e., logging data at measuring intervals shorter than 10 s is not possible. If you need faster logging for specific devices, enable the Fast Logging option (logging interval: 2 s). BreakerVisu 06/16 MN01210001Z-EN www.eaton.com...
