11 ALPS-LINK USER GUIDE
11.8 INFORMATION
You cannot modify the contents of a report. You can save the report acquired from the device in a local file for
viewing or printing later. To save a report, choose the Save As item in the Reports menu. A File Save dialog
11
box appears where you can select the name and destination of the file in which you want to store the report.
The report can be printed by choosing the Print item in the Reports menu. You can acquire and view more
than one report at a time. To do this, go through the same steps of getting a new report. You can also view
some stored report by selecting the Open item. These multiple reports are displayed to you in multiple win-
dows. To print or save a report when multiple reports are in view, ALPS-Link saves or prints the active report.
Ensure that the desired report is in the active window before choosing the item.
Some reports need further input from the user. In all such cases data is acquired from user through a dialog
and ALPS-Link validates this data wherever it is possible, before it proceed with the report. All of the reports
and their associated dialog boxes (if any) are explained in the following sub-sections.
11.8.4 FAULT REPORT
When you choose the Faults report, a dialog box with the list of faults available with the device is displayed.
Select the fault to report and choose OK. ALPS-Link will fetch relevant data from the device.
11.8.5 OSCILLOGRAPHY REPORT
To retrieve an oscillography report from the relay, select the Report > Regular Oscillography menu item. A
list of available faults will appear. Select the fault to be downloaded. Enter the starting cycle and number of
cycles required to be downloaded in the next window. A choice of DAF or COMTRADE file formats is available.
The .DAF file is formatted for use with the GE-DATA oscillography program. The .OSC format creates a binary
COMTRADE file that can be viewed with any binary COMTRADE reader. You will be prompted for a name of
this report when you close the fault report window, or, select the Report > Save (or Save As) menu item. Type
in a descriptive file name, but do not add an extension. Five files will be saved and three files will be created to
fit the COMTRADE standard. They are *.hdr (contains fault settings, fault report, and events), *.cfg (ASCII file
containing definition of the data channels), *.dat (contains binary data). A *.osc file is also created that can be
used for playback. See Section 8.1.20: PLAYBACK for complete description of the PLAYBACK function.
A *.rep is also created, the user may delete this file as it does not contain any useful information for the user. It
is used by the LINK program during generation of the oscillography file.
11.8.6 BREAKER HEALTH REPORT
Select the Report > Breaker Health menu item to see the current breaker health values.
11.8.7 DEMAND REPORT
With Demand Report it is necessary to select the demand number (or range) for which you want demand
data. Normally the allowed range is 1 to 192. If Extended Demand Option is set, then the valid range is 1 to
3360. If you want to see the report for a particular number and not the range, enter the same value in both the
Start Interval and End Interval entries.
11.8.8 DIAGNOSTICS REPORT
Select Diagnostics from the Report menu to see a listing of all the diagnostic events occurred at the device.
