(Waveform Capture)
The EnerVista 8 Series Setup software can be used to capture waveforms (or view trace
memory) from the relay at the instance of a pickup, trip, alarm, or other condition.
• With EnerVista 8 Series Setup software running and communications established,
select the Records > Transients > Transient Records menu item to open the
Transient Recorder Viewer window.
•Click on Trigger Waveform to trigger a waveform capture.
• To view the captured waveforms, click on the Launch Viewer button. A detailed
Waveform Capture window appears as shown below.
•Click on the Save button to save the selected waveform to the local PC. A new window
appears, requesting the file name and path. One file is saved as a COMTRADE file, with
the extension "CFG." The other file is a "DAT" file, required by the COMTRADE file for
proper display of waveforms.
• To view a previously saved COMTRADE file, click the Open button and select the
corresponding COMTRADE file.
