MEASURES, LOGIC STATES AND COUNTERS
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:
where:
• N record quantity
• v

sampled measures
• v
RMS
analog measures (RMS)
• n
B
logic variables (2 up to 16 variables)
• t
pre
pre-trigger time interval
• t
post
post-trigger time interval
• f frequency
Example 1
