Data and Event Logging
The meter includes powerful data logging and event recording capabilities. Data
and event logs recorded by the meter are prioritized and stored onboard. Data is
retrieved periodically by the ION Enterprise software Log Server (or other third
party application).
If you use ION Enterprise software, all retrieved data from your system is stored
in an ODBC-compliant database. The information in the database can be viewed
and analyzed using ION Enterprise software applications such as Vista (for
viewing), or Reporter (for organizing and presenting data).
Data Logging
The meter ships with a comprehensive data-logging configuration. Information
regarding the default logging capacity and default logging configuration can be
found in “Data Logging Setup” on page 53.
To learn more about the data recorder modules in your meter, refer to ION Device
Templates at www.pwrm.com. ION Device Templates lists all of the ION modules
available in the current version of your meter, and the total number of each
module. ION Device Templates also shows the ranges or options available for each
module’s setup registers.
Changing the Parameters that are Logged
The meter’s factory configuration logs a comprehensive set of energy, power and
harmonics parameters. You cannot change which parameters are logged by
configuring a setup register. Adding or deleting a log’s parameters is an advanced
procedure, as it requires changes to the links between modules, so you must use
Designer.
Refer to the Designer section of the chapter ION Software Tools. Once you are
comfortable editing module links, you can change the logged parameters by
linking the output registers you want logged to the inputs of an ION Data
Recorder module.
Changing Waveform Recording
The Waveform Recorder modules do not require changes to their default settings.
If you want to change the format of the recorded waveforms, refer to the
Waveform Recorder module description in the online ION Programmer’s Reference.
