12.5:  Logging

The Nexus is capable of logging Flicker values in an independent log.  When Flicker is on, entries
are made into the log in accordance with the times that associated values occur.    Pst, Pst Max, Pst
Min, Plt, Plt Max, Plt Min, Start/Reset and Stop times are all recorded.  All values can be down-
loaded to the Log Viewer where they are available for graphing or export to another program, such
as Excel.  All Flicker values are predefined and cannot be changed.

12.6:  Polling

The Pinst, Pst, Pst Max, Pst Min, Plt, Plt Max, Plt Min values are all capable of being polled
through the Communications Port.  Refer to the Nexus Modbus and DNP Mappings for register
assignments and data definitions.

12.7:  Log  Viewer

From the Communicator EXT Log Viewer screen, using the menus at the top of the Log Viewer
screen, select a meter, time ranges and values to access.  Select Flicker.

The values and the associated time stamps (when the values occurred) are displayed in a grid box.
Use the buttons at the bottom of the screen to create a graph or export the data to another program.
Max and Min values are only displayed; they cannot be graphed.  But, Max and Min values are
available for export.

Graphed values include Pst and Plt Va, Vb and Vc.
Displayed values include Pst and Plt Max and Min for Va, Vb and Vc.
