Evaluation of the results from the disturbance recording function requires access to a
workstation either permanently connected to the terminal or temporarily connected to
the serial port on the front. The CAP tool software package must be installed in the
workstation.
Disturbance upload can be performed by the use of SMS 510, CAP 540 or by any third
party tool with IEC 870-5-103 protocol. Disturbance files can be analyzed by any tool
reading Comtrade formatted disturbance files including REVAL and WinEve.
It could be useful to have a printer for hard copies. The behavior of the disturbance re-
cording function can be checked when protective functions of the terminal are tested.
When the terminal is set to operate in test mode, there is a separate setting for operation
of the disturbance report, which also affects the disturbance recorder.
A manual trig can be started any time. This results in a snap-shot of the actual values of
all recorded channels.
