Transferring ProVision Recordings to PQCanvass
We've added a major enhancement to ProVision - the ability to sync recordings with PQ Canvass, PMI's cloud-based PQ data analysis system. The implications of this are profound because you…
Waveform Capture with Transient Capture Overlays
PMI Revolution recorders can record waveform captures and, with the transient capture option, high-speed microsecond-level transient captures. Transient captures have a much higher sampling rate than waveform captures but have…
Merging Recordings in ProVision
Many PQ investigations end with a follow-up recording to verify a problem has been corrected and to gather a baseline for any further issues. Analyzing the “before” and “after” recordings…
Quickly Creating PQ Reports
The ProVision Publication Wizard is a quick way to create finished documents from individual graphs and reports. Use the wizard to create publication templates for different PQ applications, and then…
New ProVision Release for Handling Large PQ Recordings
With the introduction of the cell Guardian, 1 GB of memory in a PQ recorder is increasingly common. Although the resulting large files can provide a wealth of data, they…
Using Interharmonic THD Measurements
Harmonics and interharmonics are some of the most complex power quality quantities to measure and analyze. The Revolution is capable of recording interharmonic data, and ProVision can present the data,…
Advanced Harmonic Analysis Through Bulk ProVision Exports
The IEEE 519-2014 harmonic standard calls for several advanced data analysis procedures. Some of these, especially when combining with data from other devices, may be performed in Excel or Matlab.…
Cell, WiFi, and More with the New Cell Guardian Meter Socket Recorder
PMI has just introduced a major redesign of the Guardian meter socket power quality analyzer. This white paper will focus specifically on the new Cell Guardian recorder and cover the…
Software to Diagnose Power Quality Issues
Data analysis is the key to understanding and solving engineering problems on the distribution system. PMI offers three types of software tools to speed the analysis process, and help manage…
Flicker Investigation Strategy
Flicker is defined as fluctuation or wavering in visible light intensity due to voltage variations. These variations in voltage are caused by fluctuations in the load through the system source…
Plotting PQ Events on the CBEMA – ITIC Curve
The CBEMA and ITIC curves are used to show voltage events. Some PMI recorders can record these events and then ProVision can be used to plot these events on the…
