EVE Command Option Combinations
You can combine options C, L, Lyyy, n, NSET, NSUM, and Sx, in one
command. Enter the options according to the following guidelines:
➤ The Lyyy option overrides the C option.
➤ The Sx option overrides the L option.
➤ When choosing option A or option D as a report type, you
cannot use option C to specify the report length at 15 cycles.
Use option Lyyy at L015 to specify a 15-cycle report.
➤ Enter the options in any order.
Tab le 9.58 lists the choices you can make in the EVE command. Combine
options on each row, selecting one option from each column, to create an EVE
command.
The following examples illustrate some possible option combinations:
FILE
The FILE command provides a safe and efficient means of transferring files
between intelligent electronic devices (IEDs) and external support software
(ESS). The FILE commands are especially useful for retrieving high-
resolution sampled data in binary COMTRADE format from the relay. For
examples of retrieving data captures from the relay, see Reading
Oscillograms, Event Reports, and SER on page U.4.42. For more information
on the FILE command, see Virtual File Interface on page R.5.11.
