- Start ION Setup and connect to your meter.
- Open the Waveform Configuration screen in the Power Quality folder.
- Click Edit to configure the Setup parameters as required.

Waveform capture parameters available using the ION Setup
Parameter Values Description Status Enable

Enables or disables waveform capture on your meter Samples per Cycle Samples per cycle:
-
128 samples/cycle
-
64 samples/cycle
-
32 samples/cycle
-
16 samples/cycle
Select the Samples per cycle based on the requirement
-
Maximum 8 cycles for 128 samples/cycle
-
Maximum 16 cycles for 64 samples/cycle
-
Maximum 32 cycles for 32 samples/cycle
-
Maximum 64 cycles for 16 samples/cycle
Pre/Post allocation:
-
Pre-cycles: Number of cycles that will be captured in waveforms prior to waveform trigger
-
Post-cycles : Number of cycles that will be captured in waveforms post waveform trigger
The Pre-cycles can be configured based on the Samples per cycle
-
1 – 8 (for 128 samples/cycle, sum of pre and post cycles must be 8)
-
1 – 16 (for 64 samples/cycle, sum of pre and post cycles must be 16)
-
1 – 32 (for 32 samples/cycle, sum of pre and post cycles must be 32)
-
1 – 64 (for 16 samples/cycle, sum of pre and post cycles must be 64)
The Post-cycles will be automatically configured based on the Pre-cycles
NOTE: It is recommended for the end user to configure equal number of pre and post cycles to visualize sag/swell events in waveform.Mode Circular
