Time Synchronization Diagnostics and Event Logging

The 9700 Power Meter’s Diagnostics module includes five output registers
that provide time synchronization diagnostics. Refer to the 9700 Power
Meter.
Events are logged by the 9700 Power Meter’s Clock module,
Communications modules and Diagnostics module in response to time
synchronization events. The following events will appear in the WinPM
Event Log:
♦ Time sync acquired — generated when the first time sync signal is
received (Diagnostics module’s Time Sync Status register goes ON).
♦ Time sync lost — generated if no time sync signals are received in two
times the average interval of the last five signals (Diagnostics module’s
Time Sync Status register goes OFF).
♦ GPS locked — generated when the GPS receiver locks onto a time
source (Diagnostics module’s GPS Status register goes ON).
♦ GPS unlocked — generated when the GPS receiver loses its lock on a
time source (Diagnostics module’s GPS Status register goes OFF).
♦ Time set — generated when a time synchronization signal is interpreted
as a time set, and the device’s clock is reset. Two events are recorded;
one with the timestamp before the clock was set, and one with the
timestamp after the clock was set.
Creating Custom MGT Displays
Custom MGT displays can be created showing any data the 9700 Power
Meter measures or calculates. To create a custom display, configure one of
the buttons adjacent to the MGT’s screen and specify the display format and
parameters to show on the screen. As the MGT’s buttons are factory-
configured, an existing display is sacrificed when a custom display is
created.
The MGT displays data in 11 different formats: standard character screens,
large character screens, four and six-channel bar graphs, harmonics
screens, trending screens, integrator screens, and three types of status
screens. This section details the 11 different MGT display formats, and
shows how each is set up to display specific parameters.

Overview of MGT Button Configuration

To create a custom display, one of the user-configurable buttons is
reconfigured. All the user-configurable MGT buttons are set up as follows:
1. Press the SETUP button on the main menu, then press the button labeled
CONFIGURE BUTTONS.
2. Using the keypad, enter your password.
