site from the list box on the toolbar, select 'RT Min/Max Log' from the
'Monitor' menu, and then select a data set you want to view.

PAS supports nine programmable data sets each consisting of up to 40 data
parameters. To re-organize data sets, select 'Data Set' from the 'Monitor' menu or
click the button

on the toolbar. You will see some predefined data sets and

others being empty. You can freely modify both to organize data in sets that will be
convenient for you to use.

To retrieve the selected Min/Max log data, check the 'On-line' button

on the

toolbar, and then click on the 'Single poll' button

.

You can save retrieved data to a file or print it in the same manner as described in
the previous section.

Viewing Real-time Waveforms

o retrieve the real-time waveforms from the meter, select a meter site from
the list box on the toolbar, and then select 'RT Waveform Monitor' from
the 'Monitor' menu.

To run polling waveforms, check the 'On-line' button

on the toolbar, and

then click on either the 'Single poll' button

or 'Continuous poll' button

.

When in continuous poll, you can stop it by clicking on the 'Stop' button

.

By default, PAS retrieves six 4-cycle waveforms (V1-V3 and I1-I3) sampled at a
rate of 128 samples per cycle. If you want to retrieve waveforms only for selected
phases, select 'Customize' from the 'Tools' menu, click on the 'Preferences' tab,
check phases you want polled, and then click 'OK'.

Retrieved waveforms can be viewed in different windows as overlapped or non-
overlapped waveforms, as RMS cycle-by-cycle plot, or as a harmonic spectrum
chart or table. For information on using different waveform views, see Chapter 5.
