Meter Mode
Overview
Introduction
Meter mode allows you to view real-time meter data. The metered parameters available
are logically separated into Standard and Distortion tabs. Meter screens are displayed in
tabular form.
NOTE : Meter mode operation does not interfere with any of PowerVisa’s other
monitoring or recording functions. The individual voltage and current channel meter
readings are not affected by the monitoring setup. Turning monitoring of individual
channels off does not affect meter readings. Meter and Scope data is NOT available if
you are viewing a stored file from the data card.
Metered
parameters
display
The PowerVisa is designed to provide setup as well as data display. Metered
parameters are available for display regardless if they are being journalled under Setup
New Circuit > Advanced Options > Journal Limit Setup. Users can trend journal entries
by limits (Very High, High, Low, Very Low) or by time (users can set the time interval
of how often rms and waveform snapshots will be recorded even when no disturbances
occur). For the procedure on how to set entries under journal parameters, go to Chapter
6 Advanced Setup Options - Journal Limit on page 6-15.
