Analyzing Events
Event Reporting
Figure 9.4 and Figure 9.5 look in detail at one cycle of A-phase current
(channel IA) identified in Figure 9.3. Figure 9.4 shows how the event report
ac current column data relate to the actual sampled waveform and rms values.
Figure 9.5 shows how the event report current column data can be converted
to phasor rms values. Voltages are processed similarly.

Values From Sampled Current Waveform
In Figure 9.4, note that any two rows of current data from the event report in
Figure 9.3, 1/4 cycle apart, can be used to calculate rms current values.
