Figure 11.2: COMTRADE Settings
The COMTRADE format (IEEE C37.111) defines a common format for stor-
ing digital data records of transient and dynamic swing events. It consists of up
to four output files with the same base name and different file extensions: con-
figuration files (.cfg), header files (.hdr), data files (.dat) and optional informa-
tion files (.inf). The COMTRADE Export Utility produces the configuration,
header and data files.
With reference to Figure 11.2: COMTRADE Settings,
