3. Select the maximum number of records you want to be recorded
in the file.
The number of records in the waveform log file needed to
store one waveform event (series) is defined as follows:
Number of Records per Series = Sampling Rate (Samples
per Cycle) x Number of Cycles per Event / 512
The total number of records you must allocate to store the
required number of events (series) is defined as follows:
Number of Records = Number of Records per Series x
Number of Series
For example, if you want to record a 64-cycle waveform sampled
at a rate of 32 samples per cycle, the number of records required
for one waveform series would be:
Number of Records per Series = (32 x 64)/512 = 4.
If you want to allocate space sufficient to store 20 waveform
events (series), you should set up the waveform log file for 4 x 20
= 80 records.
4. Click OK, and send your setup to the meter or save to the
database.
5. Click “Setup Recorder”, or click on the “Waveform Recorder” tab.
The following table lists available waveform options.
