Waveform snapshot
During measurement campaign Power Master has the ability to take waveform snapshot. This is
particularly useful for storing temporary characteristics or network behaviour. Snapshot stores all
network signatures and waveform samples for 10/12 cycles. Using MEMORY LIST function (see 3.19) or
with PowerView v3.0 software, user can observe stored data. Waveform snapshot is captured by
starting GENERAL recorder or by pressing
for 3 seconds in any of MEASUREMENTS sub
screens.
Long press on
triggers WAVEFORM SNAPSHOT. Instrument will record all
measured parameters into file.
Note: WAVEFORM SNAPSHOT is automatically created at the start of GENERAL RECORDER.

Waveform recorder
Waveform recorder can be used in order to capture waveform of particular network event: such as
voltage event, inrush or alarm. In waveform record samples of voltage and current are stored for given
duration. Waveform recorder starts when the pre-set trigger occurs. Storage buffer is divided into pre-
trigger and post-trigger buffers. Pre and post-trigger buffers are composed of waveform snapshots
taken before and after trigger occurrence, as shown on following figure.
