When pressing the 

LOGGER 

[16] key, 

a screen similar to the one of the attached 
figure will appear. The first line shows the 
logger number  (i.e. 53 in the attached figure) followed 
by the date it was acquired (only if MEASURE function 
was executed on that logger previously). Below, the 
different functions you can perform from this operating 
mode are shown: 

VIEW

MEASURE

 and 

PRINT

 

On the bottom of the display appears present time and date. To modify them see 

section 

4.2.1 Global Configuration Menu

 

To accede to any of the different fields of the initial screen of the LOGGER 

function, turn the rotary selector [9] until it is activated (it appears shadowed) and next 
press it. 

 

First of all you must select the logger on which you want to perform any function: 

turn the rotary selector until the 

LOGGER NUMBER

 field is shadowed and press it. 

Then turning the rotary selector, select the desired logger (from 0 to 54) and finally 
press it again to validate. The acquisition date appears under the logger number (only if 
you have taken measurements on this logger).  

 
To carry out a logger acquisition you must select the 

MEASURE

 function, for this 

purpose turn the rotary selector [9] and when this field appears shadowed press it, in this 
way you will accede to the logger. Next press again the rotary selector [9] in order that the 

PROPOWER-5

 makes all the measurements defined in the LOGGER configuration menu 

over all the active channels of the channel plan (see 

Edit Channel Plan

 function at section 

4.2.1 Global configuration menu

). 

 

IMPORTANT 

 
The parameters to make the measures as the frequency offset for the noise 
measure of the digital PLC channels C/N ratio, will correspond with the 
configuration of the equipment at the time of carrying out the measurement. 

 

To return to the initial menu of the LOGGER function press the 

LOGGER

 key. 

 

To check the measurements stored in a specific logger select the 

VIEW

 option: 

 

The first line shows the channel plan (IBER in the 

example), and the units of measurement (dBm). The 
second line shows the logger number (53 in the 
attached figure) and the headings of the measurements 
(

PWR

 and 

C/N

). The measurements taken are shown in 

the following format: first column shows the channel, the 
second column shows the channel power (digital PLC 
channels), the third the fourth the C/N ratio. Turning the 
rotary selector [9] you can see the rest of channels. 

 

The time and date when measurements were taken appear at the end of the list of 

measurements, in the following order: hour:minute:second and month:day:year. To 
return to the initial menu of the LOGGER FUNCTION press 

LOGGER

 key.
