Power Logger Measuring Functions Measuring Functions Overview The following information provides an overview of each rotary switch position. Meter Volts / Amps / Hz This function displays the voltage and current values at the same time, plus the frequency and the neutral-conductor current. You can also use this measuring function to get an overview of these values before you analyze the signal in detail in the other functions.
1735 Users Manual Note Demand can be logged by setting the averaging period in the Setup menu to either 10 or 15 minutes, which produces a record of consecutive averages. This is called block demand. Events Events are voltage dips, swells and interruptions. This measuring mode automatically records all events for later evaluation.
