Data recording
The phase angle of signal X
m
is calculated in relation to a cosine function with the nominal
frequency that has been synchronized with the UTC time reference (UTC = Coordinated
Universal Time) (see figure 7-2).

with regard to the cosine function
The reporting rate (see Page 54) defines the number of phasors transferred per second. If the
defined sampling interval T
0
is unequal to the integer multiple of the measuring signal cycle
duration T
m
, the phasor's length remains constant, however, the phase angle is changed (see
figure 7-3).

corresponds to the integer multiple of the measuring signal X

cycle
duration, a constant phasor is determined during every sampling instant.
