If the data source for the selected quantity is removed, for example, with
Application Configuration in PCM600, the load profile recorder stops
recording it and the previously collected data are cleared.
3.19.1.2 Length of record
The recording capability is about 7.4 years when one quantity is recorded and the demand
interval is set to 180 minutes. The recording time scales down proportionally when a
shorter demand time is selected or more quantities are recorded. The recording lengths in
days with different settings used are presented in Table 197. When the recording buffer is
fully occupied, the oldest data are overwritten by the newest data.

3.19.1.3 Uploading of record
The protection relay stores the load profile COMTRADE files to the C:\LDP
\COMTRADE folder. The files can be uploaded with the PCM600 tool or any appropriate
computer software that can access the C:\LDP\COMTRADE folder.
The load profile record consists of two COMTRADE file types: the configuration file
(.CFG) and the data file (.DAT). The file name is same for both file types.
