PQube User Manual 2.1

Language: Language 1 sets your PQube’s main language, which is used for all of these
screens and the GIF output graphs. Language 2, if you choose one, sets the second
language on GIF output graphs. This can be useful if you expect to discuss these graphs with
an engineer who reads another language.
Power configuration: This screen shows you the power configuration that your PQube is
using. If your PQube is hunting for the correct power configuration, this screen will cycle
through the various possible configurations until your PQube locks onto the correct
configuration. Your PQube knows roughly 1,000 different possible power configurations
used around the world, and can identify the correct configuration approximately 10
seconds after power has been applied to the terminals.
Vectors: Use this screen to verify that your voltage and current inputs are wired up
correctly. Full scale voltage is determined by the nominal voltage found when the PQube
locks onto the power configuration. The vertical bar on the right represents the largest
phase magnitude of current. Its range is from zero amps to the value specified by the
Max_Current_of_Interest_in_Amps tag in the Setup.ini file. (By default, it is set to the
value shown on your current module, multiplied by the current transformer ratio specified
in the Setup.ini tag Current_Transformer_Ratio).
Date/time: Set your PQube’s internal clock-calendar. Your PQube will automatically set the
correct day of week. If you have an ETH1 Ethernet Module, and you have enabled SNTP in
your Setup.ini file, your PQube will automatically set its clock-calendar to UTC.
Trigger: Use this screen to tr igger Snapshot files of your power, or to trigger Daily Trend
and Statistics files. Use the joystick to choose, and press the Select button to begin
generating the files. Snapshots will take about 5 minutes, and trends will take longer,
depending on how much data you have recorded..
Test e-mail: Press the select button to send a test e-mail. If your e-mail succeeds, you will
get a green check mark. If your e-mail does not go through, you will see a red X with an
error message. See WARNING
Do not assign your personal email address to your PQube. Your PQube must have its own
dedicated email address that it can use to send and receive email. Power Standards Lab
is not responsible for any loss of data.
Specify up to 10 email recipients
In the [Outgoing_Email] section, tell your PQube who to send emails to under the
Email_To_1 field. You may enter up to 10 total email addresses to receive emails from the
PQube.
Sending a test e-mail from your PQube (page 34) for more information.
Network: Your PQube’s IP address and link speed can be found on this screen. This is
useful if you have a dynamic IP address. It is also useful for troubleshooting connectivity
issues.
