Waveform parameters

The following parameters configure the waveform downloading behavior. These parameters are only applicable for Sepam devices and PowerLogic devices that support waveforms.

[Parameter] [Default Value] [Parameter Type]
WaveformsDisable 0 Boolean value
WaveformMatchMargin 10 seconds
WaveformCheckTime 30 seconds (PM/CM)
WaveformZone 1 integer (Sepam)

WaveformsDisable

This parameter enables or disables waveform downloading for a particular device.

Parameter type: Boolean value
Default value: 0

Example:

[SEPAM40.MYCLUSTER.PORT_1.DEVICE_A]
WaveformsDisable 1 //Disable waveform downloading

NOTE: This INI setting is a global setting that sets the default at startup. You can set this for any set of devices (such as clusters, individual devices)

There is also a tag that will change an individual device's setting at runtime (it will reset to the default when you restart the project). This tag is LLNO\WaveformCollectionEnabled. 1 = True, 0 = False.

WaveformMatchMargin

Alarms are matched to waveforms by the timestamp of each. This parameter is the maximum difference between alarm timestamp and waveform timestamp for the product to consider it a match.

Parameter type: seconds
Default value: 10

Example:

[SEPAM40]
WaveformMatchMargin 2

WaveformCheckTime (PM, CM, and Sepam)

This parameter defines the time the driver will wait between checking for new waveforms.

Parameter type: seconds
Default value: 30

Example:

[SEPAM40.MYCLUSTER.PORT_1.DEVICE_A]
WaveformCheckTime 60 (checks every 60 seconds)

WaveformZone (Sepam)

This parameter defines the Sepam waveform zone that the Sepam driver will use to collect waveforms from the device. This allows two primaries to extract waveforms from the same device. Valid values are 1 or 2.

Parameter type: integer
Default value: 1

Example:

[SEPAM40.MYCLUSTER.PORT_1.DEVICE_A]
WaveformZone 2
