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.
