Storage mode
The disturbance recorder can capture data in two modes: waveform and trend
mode. The user can set the storage mode individually for each trigger source
with the
Storage mode parameter of the corresponding analog channel or binary
channel, the
Stor. mode manual parameter for manual trigger and the Stor. mode
periodic parameter for periodic trigger.
In the waveform mode, the samples are captured according to the
Storage rate and
Pre-trg length parameters.
In the trend mode, one value is recorded for each enabled analog channel, once per
fundamental cycle. The recorded values are RMS values, which are scaled to peak
level. The binary channels of the disturbance recorder are also recorded once per
fundamental cycle in the trend mode.
Only post-trigger data is captured in trend mode.
The trend mode enables recording times of 32 *
Record length.
8.2.1.8
Pre-trigger and post-trigger data
The waveforms of the disturbance recorder analog channels and the states of
the disturbance recorder binary channels are constantly recorded into the history
memory of the recorder. The user can adjust the percentage of the data duration
preceding the triggering, that is, the so-called pre-trigger time, with the
Pre-trg
length parameter. The duration of the data following the triggering, that is, the
so-called post-trigger time, is the difference between the recording length and the
pre-trigger time. Changing the pre-trigger time resets the history data and the
current recording under collection.
8.2.1.9
Operation modes
Disturbance recorder has two operation modes: saturation and overwrite mode.
The user can change the operation mode of the disturbance recorder with the
Operation mode parameter.
Saturation mode
In saturation mode, the captured recordings cannot be overwritten with new
recordings. Capturing the data is stopped when the recording memory is full, that
is, when the maximum number of recordings is reached. In this case, the event
is sent via the state change (TRUE) of the
Memory full parameter. When there is
memory available again, another event is generated via the state change (FALSE) of
the
Memory full parameter.
Overwrite mode
When the operation mode is "Overwrite" and the recording memory is full, the
oldest recording is overwritten with the pre-trigger data collected for the next
recording. Each time a recording is overwritten, the event is generated via the state
change of the
Overwrite of rec. parameter. The overwrite mode is recommended,
