The Phasor Measurement Unit one-shot feature can be used for ad hoc collection of
synchronized measurements in the network. Two or more PMUs can be pre-scheduled to
freeze their measurements at the same time. When frozen, the measurements can be
collected using the EnerVista software or a protocol client.
The data logger samples and records up to 16 analog parameters at a user-defined
sampling rate. This recorded data can be downloaded to the EnerVista software and
displayed with parameters on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis. All data is
stored in non-volatile memory, meaning that it is retained when power to the relay is off.
For a fixed sampling rate, the data logger can be configured with a few channels over a
long period or a larger number of channels for a shorter period. The relay automatically
partitions the available memory for the channels in use.
Between the recording intervals, the data logger calculates the maximum, minimum, and
the average value of each channel. At the end of the interval either the maximum,
minimum, or average value is written to the data logger depending on the mode setting.
This ensures that data is not missed if a low rate setting is selected.
In addition, the maximum value, timestamp of maximum, minimum value, and time stamp
of minimum are calculated for the channel for the duration of recording since the start of
recording. A high, low, high-high, and low-low alarm can be configured for each channel.

configuration window.
