on the order of magnitude which can be expected.
The following table gives the characteristics for which
indicative values have been specified by the standard.

Evaluation Techniques
Evaluation Counters and Evaluation Period
The EM720 uses a set of the evaluation counters for
collecting EN50160 statistics within a specified evaluation
period.
The evaluation period is the period of time within which the
meter collects statistical evaluation data. Supply voltage
characteristics can be evaluated on a weekly or daily basis.
The evaluation period being normally preset in your meter to
a week can be changed via the EN50160 Advanced setup.
At the end of the evaluation period, the meter records
collected statistical evaluation data to a log file, and then
