Basic Operation, continued

Home screen contains the following icons used to access various Energy Platform 

functions: 

Scope - Scope mode shows real-time voltage and current waveforms of the signals on 

the measuring inputs. See Chapter 3 View Real Time Data - Section A Scope Mode.

Meter - Meter mode displays voltage and current measurements, along with other 

calculated parameters. See Chapter 3 View Real Time Data - Section B Meter Mode.

Harmonics - Harmonic screen displays a spectral graph and textual matrix featuring the 

amplitude and phase of each voltage and current harmonic to the 63rd harmonic. See 

Chapter 3 View Real Time Data - Section C Harmonics.

Phasor - Phasor diagrams indicate phase relations between voltage and current based 

upon the angles of the fundamental. See Chapter 3 View Real Time Data - Section D 

Voltage and Current Phasor.

Preferences - Users can set instrument preferences like time and date, threshold alarm 

feedback, language selection, communications, LCD display, and data card operation. 

See Chapter 4 Instrument Settings.

Events - Events are displayed only after monitoring has been turned on or upon reading 

a stored file from the data card. See Chapter 7 View Event Data - Section A Event List.

Trend - Trend allows users to view plots of journalled data along with min/max 

measurements over the interval. See Chapter 7 View Event Data - Section B Trend.

Reports - The Energy Platform allows users to view Demand or Energy status via the 

report panels. The color coded panel indicates whether or not a parameter is within 

limits. See Chapter 8 Reports.

Start/Setup - Users have the option to use Automatic Setup and proceed directly with 

data monitoring or they can configure the instrument step-by-step using the Wizard 

Setup. Users can also do advanced setups to modify trigger parameters and intervals or 

tweak threshold settings under the Advanced Setup Options. See Chapter 5 Start Menu 

and Chapter 6 Advanced Setup Options.
