Working with Broadcast Data
◦
Note that the data file always contains all of the available data, and you are just restricting
what is displayed in the viewing window.
9.1.2
Broadcast Data Choices
To acquire Broadcast Data (see Section 6.3.3) there must be an active connection between the 1133A
and the computer. To learn about opening a connection between the 1133A and a computer, see
Chapter 6, “Connecting with the 1133A.”
Short descriptions of the eight data types are listed in Table 9.1.

Logging Basic Data
Basic Data includes all measured voltages, currents, sequence components, power values, flicker,
frequency and time deviation values. Basic Data are synchronized to the GNSS, sent real time at
a rate of once-per-second and simultaneously saved in a file of choice. See Figures 9.2 and 9.3.
1. Make certain that there is an open connection with the 1133A. If you are not connected, see
“Connecting with the 1133A” on page 42.
2. From the main menu select Connection
>
Acquire Broadcast
>
Basic Data, or click the Basic
Data button on the Broadcast toolbar to initiate viewing basic data.
3. Note that PSCSV will download all measured data to the Basic Data window.
