Manuals, Documentation and Help
<p>PQView is extremely beneficial for any industry needing robust power quality analysis or dealing with a large network of data sources, including:</p>
<p>PQView’s Automatic Reporting System (ARS) and Power Quality Data Reporting (PQDR) allow for customizable and automatic reports summarizing power quality monitoring campaigns or summarizing compliance with IEEE 519 and EN 50160. Test 2</p>
<p>The charts are available for voltage/current waveform analysis, RMS variation analysis, fault analysis and data logs. You can also apply filters to your data, such as high pass and low pass filters.</p>
<p>PQView has integration options with intelligent devices (meters, relays, RTUs, power quality analyzers, fault recorders), databases or systems (SCADA, OMS, DMS, MDMS, AMR, Historian, Weather) and industry-standard files (IEEE COMTRADE, IEEE PQDIF).</p>
<p>PQView has direct download capabilities with monitoring devices from Advantech, AMETEK, Arbiter, Camille Bauer, Dranetz, ElectroIndustries, IEC 61850 IED Interface, Iskra, Gossen, MODBUS Protocol, OSIsoft, Power Standards Lab, PMI CANVASS, Rockwell Automation, SATEC, Schneider Electric, Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories and IEEE PQDIF and COMTRADE files.</p>
Robust Analytics & Reporting, Regardless of Device
PQView is the analysis tool that provides fault location, power quality analysis, dashboard, and reporting. It’s device-agnostic and can integrate data from a number of sources, including power quality analyzers like Powerside’s PQube® 3, as well as digital relays, fault recorders, smart meters and SCADA systems. PQView also works seamlessly with analytical tools that convert raw data into helpful insights, such as:
- Dashboards
- Power quality analysis tools
- Reporting too
- Fault location
Locally Installed & Tailored to Your Needs
As an on-premise software solution, PQView is run within your own physical environment, rather than remotely. This means customizable levels of security and compliance, unique data and infrastructure control and fewer dependencies on external factors — for you and your customers. Plus, easily cross-reference data with other information without having to install a variety of software.
Leverage Advanced Visualization & Automated Reporting
PQView combines powerful charting tools with automated reporting to simplify power quality analysis and compliance workflows. Generate static and interactive charts for waveform analysis, RMS variations, fault analysis and data logs, then export data into convenient formats like JPEG and PDF.
Integrated smartgrid reporting solutions support automated report generation, archiving and distribution across unlimited monitoring sites, with flexible customization and data processing capabilities. Features include:
