9.1 Source Metering
If the Sm@rtGear IE is equipped with power meters, a Source Metering screen is accessed from the Elevation screen by pressing the
meter graphic or from the One Line screen by pressing the VM symbol. The Source Metering screen displays all real time metering.
The Metering Screen also has a button link to trending views that contain logged and real time trends. If the equipped meter is a
Siemens 9610, a button link to the built in web server can be customized for specific logging tasks.
9.1.1 Trending
The trending data can be accessed from the Source Meter screen by pressing the Trending button located on the left-hand side.
Trending data is available for:
• Power Factor
• KVA
• KW
• KVAR
• AN *only on Y applications
• BN *only on Y applications
• CN *only on Y applications
• AB
• BC
• CA
• IA
• IB
• IC
A button bank on the right-hand side of the screen allows the user to select desired trending information. Once one of the items is
selected, two graphs will appear. The right-side graph is for real time data. It shows a 30 second window that constantly updates
from right to left. The left side graph shows logged item data. The log data graph has the ability to zoom in and out using standard
magnifying glass icons located at the top of the graph. This changes the displayed trend by altering the time band displayed. The
user also has the ability to move back and forth across the logged data to see graphed readings at different times in the past. This
can be done by using the fast forward and rewind icons located at the top of the graph.
Trending Logs record item data upon a change in value and can hold up to 500,000 records. Once the log is full, it will start to over-
write data in the FIFO format of First In, First Out ensuring extensive historical data is available for trending display.
Warning: Users must exit Runtime Mode in order to access log files. Accessing a log file during Runtime Mode or altering the file
could result in loss of data. Reference Exit Runtime for procedures.
Trending Log files use .csv formatting and can be located for copying at file directory:
C:\Siemens_Files\Active_Logs\Power
Note: All Log File records include a date and time stamp based on the Sm@rtGear IE CPU date and time. If the GPS Time Server
