Abstract
Revolution meters are compact, cellular-connected power monitors. Unlike the Tensor, Seeker, Guardian, and Bolt devices, which initiate their own uploads to PQ Canvass, Revolutions do not push their recordings to the server on their own — the recording has to be retrieved on the user’s behalf. Revolution download addresses this by allowing users to initiate a server-side pull of the current recording directly from the PQ Canvass web interface. The server connects to the Revolution through the Revolution’s cell modem, retrieves the recording, validates the file, and stores it in PQ Canvass. Users are notified by email — and optionally by SMS — when the recording is ready to view. This paper describes the download workflow, the optional restart-recording behavior, and how the resulting recording is integrated into the standard PQ Canvass viewing and reporting pipeline.
