SETUP MONITORING
The Start Monitoring icon takes you to the next page to begin setup
monitoring.
There are two ways to set up the instrument for monitoring - via
Automatic Setup or Wizard Setup. Experienced users have the ability to
turn on any available parameter and set threshold limits to any value
within the acceptable range. The length of time to monitor a circuit can
vary from a few hours to a few months or more depending on user
application.
Automatic Setup automatically configures the instrument’s circuit type,
voltage and current channels, and parameter thresholds. The auto-
configured setup enables you to proceed directly with data monitoring.
The Xplorer allows you to perform automatic setup for power quality or
for energy/demand, depending on your application.
Wizard Setup takes you through a series of screens prompting for
information about the circuit to be monitored and the monitoring settings.
The instrument turns on the appropriate voltage and current channels
when you select a circuit type. Parameter thresholds are initially set
based on the line voltage and current values that you enter. Threshold
limits for capturing events are also set according to the monitoring mode
selected. Selection of a setup mode typically depends on the user’s
application and extent of familiarity with the operation of the instrument.
Monitor Same Circuit makes use of the previous setup for monitoring.
Load Setup Template allows you to load previously saved setup
templates from internal memory or from an external USB device.
Load Data File from Memory brings up a list of recorded session data
files containing recordings that are saved to memory while monitoring is
on.
Change Instrument Configuration brings up the instrument settings
menu to help you manage the instrument according to your setup
preferences and application. Refer to Section - Instrument Settings.
View/Save Monitoring Setup displays the list of parameter settings for
application setup.
