Default data logging configuration

The meter’s default template includes factory-configured data logs (Data Recorder modules).

These data logs and their configuration are used by other components of your power monitoring system.

NOTE: Do not change the default configuration of any of the logs unless you understand the impact of the change on these power monitoring system components, the data they use, and your meter’s memory.

Each data recorder can record up to 16 different parameters. The number of data recorders available depends on your meter's feature set:

Feature set Data recorders
Advanced 64
Standard 50
Essential 10
