Server when operating as a Windows NT Service will not shut down when a user logs off.
ODBC: Open Database Connectivity. An inter-application communication protocol required for certain PMCS client applications to share data. Automatically installed and configured as part of the PMCS installation routine.
PMCS: Power Management Control System. GE’s high-performance power- management system for Windows NT, including open network protocols, waveform capture and analysis, event logging, and several optional modules.
POWER LEADER: The family of GE power-management devices, including meters, relays, trip units, and software.
RS485: An industry-standard communication network supporting up to 32 networked devices. RS485 provides medium-speed, reliable communication transport through shielding, balanced transmission voltages, and termination.
SCADA: Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. A category of systems that primarily acquires data for logging and analysis, as well as providing supervisory control in applications without time-critical requirements. Power-management systems are a direct application of SCADA technology.
TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol. An industry-standard protocol typically used on Ethernet or Token-Ring local-area networks (LANs).
Waveform Capture: A standard PMCS application that provides a window into power-quality data in an electrical system. Waveform Capture is used to view snapshots of voltage and current waveforms from various points in an electrical system to analyze harmonics and unusual system behavior.
