Oscillography - GE N60 Instruction Manual

5.2 PRODUCT SETUP
The UR device maintains two times: local time and Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). Local time can be provided by IRIG-
B signals. UTC time is provided by SNTP servers.
The real-time clock (RTC) and timestamps reported in historical records and communication protocols can be incorrect if
the Local Time setting is not configured properly. When the RTC is synchronized with IRIG-B, Local Time must be config-
ured for the current location or else the timestamps may not be accurate.
The
LOCAL TIME OFFSET FROM UTC
hours. Time zones in the eastern hemisphere have positive values; time zones in the western hemisphere have negative
values. A value of zero causes the relay to use UTC for local time. This setting has two uses. When the system RTC is syn-
chronized with a communications protocol providing only local time or it is free-running, the offset setting is used to calcu-
late UTC from the local time these provide. When the RTC is synchronized with a communications protocol providing only
UTC (such as PTP or SNTP), the time offset setting is used to determine local time from the UTC provided. PTP
ALTERNATE_TIME_OFFSET_INDICATOR TLVs are not used to calculate local time. When a communications protocol
other than PTP provides UTC to local time offset (meaning IRIG-B), that offset is used instead of the local time and daylight
time settings.
The
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME (DST)
Note that when IRIG-B time synchronization is active, the local time in the IRIG-B signal contains any daylight savings time
offset and so the DST settings are ignored.

 OSCILLOGRAPHY

Oscillography records contain waveforms captured at the sampling rate as well as other relay data at the point of trigger.
Oscillography records are triggered by a programmable FlexLogic operand. Multiple oscillography records may be captured
simultaneously.

other factors such as sample rate and the number of operational modules. There is a fixed amount of data storage for oscil-
lography; the more data captured, the less the number of cycles captured per record. See the

settings can be used to allow the relay to follow the DST rules of the local time zone.
