3.9 Data Logging – Advanced Selection of the rotary switch position ‘LOG’ brings up the following menu: OPTIONS INT <PC> SET TIME ENABLE LOG OFF <ON> DISPLAY DATA SEND TO PC SELECT CHANGE Two modes of data logging are available: either logging to an internal non-volatile memory or logging to an external PC, using the digital output lead.
Page 19
The maximum logging duration is determined by the battery life (24hrs.) and the memory. Data being logged is an average over the sample period. Using this information the maximum logging period can be calculated. For example, if logging the second Watts screen which shows 5 parameters, with a logging interval of 10 seconds, the maximum logging period would be:...
The following information is also displayed: LOGGING DURATION T = HR:MIN ∆ = MIN:SEC SAMPLE INTERVAL MIN MAX AVE 3.9.5. SEND TO PC This allows the user to download internal data to a PC running the WinLog program. The digital output lead must be connected from the digital output socket, on the front of the instrument, to the PC serial port.
TECHNICAL DEFINITIONS 4.1 Measured Parameters Total Harmonic Distortion, the level of harmonic distortion as a percentage of the waveform value at the fundamental frequency. Distortion Factor, the level of harmonic distortion as a percentage of the total RMS value of the waveform. Fundamental frequency in Hz Crest Factor, the ratio of the peak value to the RMS value.
5. SAFETY Safety Summary Definitions WARNING statements inform the user that certain conditions or practices could result in loss of life or physical harm. CAUTION statements identify conditions or practices that could harm the Power Platform, its data, other equipment, or property. NOTE statements call attention to specific information.
