and then e

port that

waveform in a

standard comtrade

file format is

supported by the

following devices:

PXG600 (provides

data acquisition and

comtrade conversion

for: IQ Analyzer,

DT1150 and FP5000).

Note: The Power Xpert Meters

4000/6000/8000 also export

natively captured waveforms as

comtrade file format.

Communication

Protocol for Building

Automation and

Control Networks.

This draft shows proposed

changes to the current

BACnet standard.

Note: Eaton has extended this

protocol addendum with a (+) to

signify the addition of an “event-

driven” behavior to the existing

“polled” data acquisition model.

This allows optimization in

communications between Power

Xpert devices and Power Xpert

Software.
