On most computers the default program is Internet Explorer. If you want make it eady to share
your data directly with other people (and not through a computer program), consider HTML or text
format files.
Manually Trigger Snapshots or Daily Trends
You do not have to wait for the PQube to generate these files during the scheduled
time intervals. Navigate to the Trigger screen and select which files you would like
to generate, then press the select button.
User Counter
You can configure your PQube to keep track of how many times the Analog Input or Digital Input
channels have been triggered. A new “Energy per count” channel has been added. Your PQube
will automatically divide the total accumulated energy by the number of counts, providing the
energy per unit (energy used to fill each bottle in a beverage factory, for example).
To setup the User Counter, choose which trigger you would like to keep track of. For example, to
count the number of Digital Input LOW triggers, you would enter the following in your setup file:
;----------------------------------------------------
[DIG1_Events]
;----------------------------------------------------
; ------ Valid Values: ON, OFF, USER_COUNTER
Enable_DIG1_Dip_Event=USER_COUNTER
Enable_DIG1_Swell_Event=OFF
DIG1_Dip_Threshold=0.5
DIG1_Swell_Threshold=0.5
DIG1_Event_Hysteresis=0.1
Every time the DIG1 value changes from 1 to 0, your PQube will increment the User Counter by 1.
The Energy per Count is automatically refreshed when the User Counter is incremented.
You can reset the User Counter by resetting the accumulated energy at the Energy screen.
