automatically from the Summary/TOU Registers setup (see Configuring Summary and TOU
Registers in Chapter 9). Since each TOU energy register has a shadow maximum
demand register, the number of sections in the file is twice the number of the
allocated TOU registers.
In order to correctly allocate the memory space for TOU profile log files, assign TOU
registers before you set up your TOU profile log files.
To configure a TOU daily profile log file:
1. Configure your TOU registers and TOU schedule before allocating
memory for a profile log file (see Configuring Summary and TOU
Registers in Chapter 9).
2. Select Memory/Log from the Meter Setup menu, and then click on
the Log Memory tab.
3. Double click on the Data Log #15 or Data Log #16 partition row.
4. Select the TOU Monthly Profile or TOU Daily Profile in the File
Type box.
5. Select the number of season tariffs in your TOU schedule.
6. Select the maximum number of records you want to be recorded in
the file assuming that a new record is added once a month or once
a day.
7. Click OK and send your setup to the device or save to the
database.
Configuring the Waveform Recorder
Waveform log files are organized as multi-section files that store data for each
recording channel in a separate section.
A regular waveform log file records up to 12 analog channels simultaneously: eight
AC channels (four voltages and four currents), one VDC channel, and up to 48 digital
inputs DI1-DI16, DI17-DI32 and DI33-DI48 organized in three sections as three 16-bit
analog channels. Devices with firmware version lower than V10.3.20 may only record
10 channels including 16 digital inputs DI1-DI16. Devices with firmware V10.6.XX
provide simultaneous recording of up to 26 analog channels: eight AC channels (four
voltages and four currents), one VDC channel, 16 digital inputs DI1-DI16 organized in
a 16-bit analog channel, and 16 fast analog input channels AI1-AI16.
A single channel waveform record contains 512 points of the sampled input signal. If
a waveform log is configured to record more samples per event than a single record
can hold, the waveform recorder stores as many records per event as required to
record the entire event. All waveform records related to the event are merged in a
series and have the same series number, so they can be plotted together.
The SA300 supports 8 waveform files that can record waveforms at three
programmable sampling rates: 32, 64 or 128 samples per cycle.
To configure a waveform log file:
1. Select Memory/Log from the Meter Setup menu, and then click on
the Log Memory tab.
