8.  Graph Overview

 

 

a.  Graph Control 

i.  The graphs used to display the recorded power quality events (normal mode) 

and line voltage (Enhanced Logging Mode) contain Zoom, Cross Hair, and 
Drag functions that are useful when analyzing data: 

 

Legend:  Press the L icon to display the Graph Legend to show the 
values of the Time Stamped data. Pressing the icon again toggles the 
legend off. 

 

Zoom:  Press the magnifying glass icon to enable Zoom mode. Pressing 
the icon again stops Zoom mode, and restores the graph to its full 
display scale. 

 

Cross Hair:  Turns the cross hair on and off. 

 

Drag:  Enables/Disables Drag mode.  When in Drag mode, press and 
hold the left mouse button somewhere on the graph, and move the 
mouse.  The graph will be dragged in the corresponding direction. 

 

ii.  Several control buttons are available below the graphs, depending on which 

mode is active: 

1. 

G1/G2:  Toggles between Graph 1 (recorded power quality events) and 
Graph 2 (line voltage).  Available after entering Enhanced Logging Mode. 

2. 

**/--:  Toggles the data display of Graph 2 (line voltage) between linear 
and discrete data points.  Available when Graph 2 is visible. 

3. 

Stop:  Stops Enhanced Logging Mode. Available after entering Enhanced 
Logging Mode. 

 

b. 

Graph Data 

 

i.  Power Quality Events Graph 

1.  Overview 

a.  The recorded power quality events graph displays the time- 

stamped power quality events (up to 60) recorded and stored 
in the Next Gen PCS Filter

’s internal memory.  The events are 

plotted as individual data points. 

 

b.  While the events are time-stamped in the Next Gen PCS 

Filter

’s internal memory by the elapsed time since the previous 

recorded event, they are plotted on the graph with an 
estimated date and time, based on the connected c

omputer’s 

Windows system time. The duration of a power outage is not 
recorded, so the date and time of events prior to and including 
the most recent power outage may not be accurate.  Events 
with an accurate estimated date and time are plotted with a red 
circle; events with a possibly inaccurate date and time are 
plotted with a black circle; the time the computer was 
connected is plotted with a blue square.
