MEASURES, LOGIC STATES AND COUNTERS
• Digital channels (1...12) allocation (output relay and/or binary inputs).
• Trigger setup; the information storage starts when a state transition on the selected signal occurs.
(protective element start and/or trip, output relay and/or binary input switching).
• Alarm: when the 80% of the buffer space is reached an alarm may be issued. The system being
of linear type, the records are back-to-back recorded to the end of available memory; the alarm
output is a warning in order that the user may download data
[1]
to clear memory for new records
COMTRADE
Records are recorded in COMTRADE format; (Common Format for Transient Data); This is a standard
for the data exchange for various types of tests or simulation datas, etc, for power system applica-
tions.
The measurements are recorded in ASCII or BINARY format. COMTRADE files always come by pairs:
• The “.CFG”-file describing the configuration: number of analog and digital channels, sampling rate,
scale factors, etc.
• The “.DAT”-file containing the data
The COMTRADE is part of IEC 60255-24 standard.
The recording can be analyzed by mean of Thyvisor sw or any other standard compliant viewer.
The record quantity is depending on settings of following parameters:
• Pre-trigger and post-trigger times
• Number of allocated channels.
By means of the following formula the record quantity may be evaluated:

• N record quantity

Note 3 Data are stored into non-volatile memory; they are retained once power is turned off
