Opening a Log File

To open a log file, click on the Open button

on the PAS toolbar, or select

“Open...” from the File menu. In the “Files of type” box, select “Access Database
(*.mdb)”, select a directory where your files are located, point to the file you want to
open, select a desired table on the right pane, and then click Open.

Copying Data

To copy the entire data table or graph, or part of the data, into the Clipboard or into
another application such as Microsoft Excel or Word:

1. Click on the data window with the right mouse button and choose

Select All, or, if your current view represents a table, click on the
upper-left corner of the table (where the “No.” label is commonly
displayed).

2. Click with the right mouse button on the window again and choose

Copy, or click on the Copy button

on the PAS toolbar.

3. Run the application to which you want to copy data, position the

cursor at the correct place, and then click the Paste button

on

the application's toolbar or select Paste from the Edit menu.

Saving Data to a File

To save data to a file, click on the Save button

, select a directory where you

want your log file to be stored, select a database or type the name for a new
database, and then click Save. To avoid confusion, do not store data files into the
“Sites” directory where site databases are located.

Printing Reports

To print a data report to a printer, click on the print button

on the toolbar, select

a printer and click OK. If you want to check how your document appears on the
printed page, select Print Preview from the File menu.

Customizing Views

Date Order

To change the way PAS displays the date, select Options from the Tools menu, click
on the Preferences tab, select the preferred date order, and then click OK.

Timestamp

The timestamp is normally recorded and displayed on the screen at a 1-ms
resolution. If you have an application that does not support this format, you may
instruct PAS to drop the milliseconds. To change the way PAS records and displays
the timestamp, select Options from the Tools menu, click on the Preferences tab,
select the preferred timestamp format, and then click OK.

Voltage Disturbance Units

When programming a voltage disturbance trigger in your device, the operate limit for
the trigger can be set either in a percent of the nominal voltage, or in voltage RMS
