Waveforms on the meter webpages

You can use the waveform viewer on the meter's webpages to view waveforms generated as a
result of power quality events.
Set up the meter to view waveforms on the webpages
Before you can view waveforms on the meter's webpages, you need to perform some basic
configuration to enable waveform capture and store the waveforms in COMTRADE format.
1. Enable waveform
capture on your meter
Set the meter's nominal
voltage using ION Setup or
meter webpages.
The waveform viewer uses the meter's COMTRADE files to display the waveforms. If the events
you want to capture are not included in the default framework, you can customize the meter's
waveform recording framework.
Webpage waveform viewer
