descriptions

Standard Power Quality, Demand, Energy optimizes the instrument to collect data

for troubleshooting using standard power quality parameters, with numerous trigger

conditions set.

Long-term Timed Recording, Demand, Energy sets the instrument to use periodic

measurements only. This setting is used for long-term statistical studies and

benchmarking field-based equipment testing and evaluation. No triggers are set so only

trended values are available.

Continuous Data Logging, Demand, Energy sets the instrument to log rms and

power values once per second until memory is filled or for specified time period.

EN50160 Power Quality monitors and reports Quality of Supply (QOS) compliance

as specified by the EN50160 standard. A full discussion on EN50160 is found on
