Analog Metering
Pressing the Analog Meter button accesses the analog representations of the digital values displayed on
the DECS Metering screen. Analog metering values are divided among three screens accessed through
buttons labeled Generator Values, Generator Power, and Exciter Values. Each parameter is represented
by an analog meter along with the digital version of the metered value.
Trending
The Trending screen (Figure 10) is accessed by pressing the Trending button of the DECS Metering
screen. Several system parameters can be selected and monitored over time in an amplitude-versus-time
window. Buttons on the Trending screen enable selection of the parameters to be monitored. Available
parameters include generator voltage (Vgen), apparent power (kVA), true power (kW), reactive power
(kvar), field voltage (Vexc), and field current (Iexc). Parameters are plotted in a color that matches the
color of the parameter buttons. Pressing the History button displays additional controls and a display for
manipulating the cursor position within a data plot. Pressing the USB button transfers the trending data to
a connected USB memory device. Storage of trending information requires the installation of a compact
flash memory card.
