1.2.4 PQMPC SOFTWARE
All data continuously gathered by the PQM can be transferred to a third party software program for display,
control, or analysis through the communications interface. The PQMPC software makes this data immediately
useful and assists in programming the PQM. Some of the tasks that can be executed using the PQMPC soft-
ware package are:
• read metered data
• monitor system status
• change PQM setpoints on-line
• save setpoints to a file and download into any PQM
• capture and display voltage and current wave shapes for analysis
• record demand profiles for various measured quantities
• troubleshoot communication problems with a built in communications debugging tool
• print all graphs, charts, setpoints, and actual data
The PQMPC software is fully described in Chapter 6: SOFTWARE.
