Waveform Files
The Waveform files themselves are packaged in a .tgz compressed tar archive file. Unpacking this in Windows
requires special software such as 7-Zip. When you unpack the file, you may need to first decompress it and then
unpack the resulting .tar file. Each waveform archive unpacks into a set of four files with the following extensions.
.hdr, .cfg, .dat, and .inf. Your Comtrade viewer may not require all of these.
Manual Waveform Capture
If you wish, you can initiate a waveform capture from an enabled device. This is under the Command section of the
Choose an Action menu within the sidebar. The sidebar is available on the Network or One-lines tab when the
device is selected. You can also access the menu on the Device Details pop-out.

Available Space
The PXG allocates 100MB of internal space for saving waveform files. This is enough storage for
approximately 300 waveform files. Roll-off of older waveform files occurs automatically as the available
waveform log space is filled.
