Inrush- type events such as motor start-up typically requires extended duration cycle-by-cycle recording. With HDPQ Xplorer, you can capture and store detailed data to evaluate system performance against specifications and previous benchmark data. Under the current inrush mode, triggers are current-based.
Page 105 HDPQ Xplorer is designed to facilitate long-term monitoring by collecting min/max/avg data at each predetermined interval in order to perform post-process harmonic and other events analysis. HDPQ Xplorer is also designed to be left unattended in the field, recording statistically representative data for long-term analysis.
