Producing a Simple Time of Use (TOU) Energy Report
The BLACKBOX Portable is designed to produce a basic energy report file in-
ternally. The report is generated in a MS Excel Comma Separated Values (CSV)
file format and intended to be used for further Time of Use (TOU) report genera-
tion.
Configuration
The Energy report Configuration is located at a Service/Power Setup section
(refer to Meter Readings Log on page 80). To enable this automatic re-
porting feature select Energy on the Mode field.
The Duration field defines the way the output files should be created. 1/Day se-
lection on file duration will force the system to produce separate files each day,
and the time a new file should be created is defined on the Log Restart field. In
the configuration example above, a new report file will be generated each day at
12:00 (UTC time).
The aggregation period is as defined as the Energy Interval configuration
(refer to Energy Intervals on page 79).
