Use the blue arrowhead buttons and for one-time or continuous
waveform polling. Use the Stop button
to stop continuous polling.
See Viewing Waveforms for information on using waveform views.
Viewing Harmonic Spectrum and Synthesized
Waveforms
To retrieve the real-time harmonic spectrum, select the device site from the
list box on the PAS toolbar, and then select RT Harmonic Monitor from the
Monitor menu or click on the
button on the PAS toolbar. Harmonics can
be displayed as a spectrum chart or in a table.
PAS can also synthesize waveforms based on the harmonic spectrum to let
you view a waveshape of the voltage and current waveforms. Use the
and buttons on the local toolbar to view the synthesized waveforms in an
overlapped or non-overlapped view.
See Viewing Waveforms for more information on using different spectrum
and waveform views.

Retrieving Logs Files
Using PAS, you can retrieve recorded events, data and waveforms from your
PM172E and PM172EH meters and save them to files on your PC in the MS
Access database format.
Historical data can be uploaded on demand any time you need it, or
periodically through the Upload Scheduler that can retrieve data
automatically on a predefined schedule, for example, daily, weekly or
monthly. If you do not change the destination database location, new data
will be added to the same database so you can have long-term data profiles
in one database regardless of the upload schedule you selected.
For information on uploading files and configuring the Upload Scheduler for
your meters, see the “PAS Getting Started Guide”.
Viewing Options
Uploaded data can be viewed on the screen, printed, and exported to other
applications.
To open a log file, click on the Open button on the PAS toolbar or select
“Open...” from the File menu, select “Access Database (*.mdb)” in the “Files
of type” box, point to the log file, select a desired table on the right pane, and
then click Open.
PAS offers you different options for easy analysis of retrieved trend and fault
data. Data can be displayed in primary or secondary units. You can use
filtering to find out and work with a subset of events that meet the criteria you
specify, or use sorting to rearrange records in the desired order. PAS can
also link events and the corresponding data records and waveforms together
to allow you more effective analysis of recorded events.
See the “PAS Getting Started Guide” for more information on viewing log
files and available options.
