Chapter 7—Logging
Introduction
This chapter briefly describes the following logs of the power meter:
• Alarm log
• Maintenance log
• Billing log
• User-defined data logs
See the table below for a summary of logs supported by each power meter model.
Logs are files stored in the non-volatile memory of the power meter and are referred to as
“on-board logs.” The amount of memory available depends on the model (see Table 7–2).
Data and billing log files are preconfigured at the factory. You can accept the preconfigured
logs or change them to meet your specific needs. Use PowerLogic software to set up and
view all the logs. See your software’s online help or documentation for information about
working with the power meter’s on-board logs.
Waveform captures are stored in the power meter’s memory, but they are not considered
logs (see Chapter 8—Waveform Capture on page 63). Refer to “Memory Allocation for
Log Files”on the next page for information about memory allocation in the power meter.
