Waveforms on the meter webpages
You can use the waveform viewer on the meter’s webpages to view waveforms generated as a
result of power quality events.
Set up the meter to view waveforms on the webpages
Before you can view waveforms on the meter’s webpages, you need to perform some basic
configuration to enable waveform capture and store the waveforms in COMTRADE format.
1. Enable waveform
capture on your meter
Set the meter’s nominal
voltage using ION Setup or
meter webpages.
2. A waveform is captured when
a power quality event occurs
A COMTRADE record is
generated and saved to your
meter’s internal SFTP site.
3. View the waveform on the
meter’s webpages
Go to the waveform viewer
(Monitoring > Waveforms) to
explore the waveform data.
The waveform viewer uses the meter’s COMTRADE files to display the waveforms. If the events
you want to capture are not included in the default framework, you can customize the meter’s
waveform recording framework.
Webpage waveform viewer
After COMTRADE files are generated by your meter, you can view them using the waveform
viewer.
