7. The Waveform Log Setup screen allows you to configure the waveform
recorder for Standard or Delayed waveform capture.
NOTE: The Transient Logging Wizard does not support Extended
waveform capture. See “Waveform capture”, page 153 for details on
Standard, Delayed and Extended waveform capture.
Parameter Description
Waveform
Depth Specifies the maximum number of waveform records stored on the meter.
Waveform
Format Specifies the number of samples per cycle and the number of cycles that
are stored in a waveform record.
Trigger Position Specifies the number of cycles to capture before the waveform versus after
the waveform. Trigger position can be set using the pre-cycle arrows or the
slider bar.
NOTE: The maximum number of cycles (pre-event + post-event) cannot
exceed the total number of cycles in the waveform format.
Click Next .
8. Configure your meter’s COMTRADE settings:
a. Select or clear the Generate COMTRADE files check box to enable or
disable the creation of COMTRADE records.
NOTE: The waveform viewer on your meter’s webpages uses the
meter’s COMTRADE files. If you want to view waveforms on the
meter’s webpages, select
Generate COMTRADE files .
NOTE: The factory-default configuration for COMTRADE only
supports Standard waveform capture.
b. Set the Log depth for the COMTRADE files to specify the maximum
number of records stored on your meter’s FTP site.
9. Click Finish .
You are returned to the Transient Logging screen and the entry shows your
new configuration.
If nothing happens when you click Finish , check the log depths and buffer
depths for all your other data logs to make sure that the meter has enough
memory for these changes. Adjust the log depth and buffer depth of the data
and waveform recorders if needed.
Configuring Advanced PQ using ION Setup
Use ION Setup to configure your meter’s power quality (PQ) monitoring and
logging settings for IEC 61000

30, EN 50160, IEEE 519 and Rapid Voltage
Change (RVC).
The meter’s PQ frameworks are designed with logical dependencies.
IEC 61000

30 must be enabled first if you want to monitor and record PQ
parameters for EN 50160 or IEEE 519. In addition, the Sag/Swell feature must be
enabled in order to monitor and detect disturbances such as RVC.
NOTICE
DATA LOSS
Failure to follow these instructions can result in data loss.
• Enable IEC 61000-4-30 before enabling other power quality monitoring and
recording features.
• Enable Sag/Swell before configuring power quality disturbance related
features.
