user can monitor the time remaining to the next triggering with the Time to trigger
monitored data which counts downwards.
8.1.2 Length of recordings
The user can define the length of a recording with the Record length parameter. The length
is given as the number of fundamental cycles.
According to the memory available and the number of analog channels used, the digital
fault recorder automatically calculates the remaining amount of recordings that fit into the
available recording memory. The user can see this information with the Rem. amount
of rec monitored data. The fixed memory size allocated for the recorder can fit in two
recordings that are ten seconds long. The recordings contain data from all analog and
binary channels of the digital fault recorder, at the sample rate of 32 samples per
fundamental cycle.
The user can view the number of recordings currently in memory with the Number of
recordings monitored data. The currently used memory space can be viewed with the
Rec. memory used monitored data. It is shown as a percentage value.
8.1.2.1 Sampling frequencies
The sampling frequency of the digital fault recorder analog channels depends on the set
rated frequency. One fundamental cycle always contains the amount of samples set with
the Storage rate parameter. Since the states of the binary channels are sampled once per
task execution of the digital fault recorder, the sampling frequency of binary channels is
400 Hz at the rated frequency of 50 Hz and 480 Hz at the rated frequency of 60 Hz.

8.1.2.2 Uploading of recordings
The relay stores COMTRADE files to the C:\COMTRADE\ folder. The files can be
uploaded with the PCM tool or any appropriate computer software that can access the
C:\COMTRADE\ folder.
The maximum number of recordings is 100.
