Installing the Power Recorder at a Facility

This section describes the steps you need to take to set up the Recorder at a facility and begin a recording session.

Work Flow

There are three distinct stages for a recording session.

Setup

Setup, hookup, and verification of connections and measured signals. This is when you will want to clear the Recorder memory (not required, but best practice because data download when finished only contains your new data). This is a good time to change any recorder settings. Edit the measurement description now or after downloading the measurement data and insert annotations and/or an optional START mark into the recorded data stream. Annotations are messages or notes you insert into the data stream during a recording session.

Interim checkup, mid-recording session

At this time, you may want to re-check all the live input signals, and download the data recorded since the beginning of the recording session. This does not interfere with ongoing recording in any way. Annotation capability is always available during the recording session.

End of recording session

You can re-verify if desired, correctness of live data and then download data, power off the Recorder, and pack up for transport.
