Amp-Hour and Watt-Hour Measurements
Amp-hour and watt-hour measurements are available on all APS models. These measurements are
made independently of other measurements.
The amp-hour and watt-hour measurements are created by accumulating full range current and
power measurements at approximately 200k samples/second. The accumulators can hold enough
data for at least 100,000 hours.
The approximate limit of accumulated charge is ±(900,000,000•I

Temperature Measurements
You can return the ambient temperature measured at he air inlet on the right side of the unit.
You can also return the difference in temperature between the internal temperature sensors and their
over-temperature trip levels. The remaining temperature margin of the sensor that is closest to
tripping the over-temperature protection is reported.
Temperature measurements are returned in degrees C.
