Select File - Save As to save the dataset. Use .fvf (FlukeView format) to save the dataset window and the dataset data. A dataset that has been saved as a .fvf file can be opened again, can be viewed using the viewer, and can be send back to the Analyzer. 4.

The dataset viewer disconnects the instrument and connects to a virtual Power Quality Analyzer that has been provided with the data retrieved from the instrument. The virtual Analyzer shows a Fluke 43x screen. The viewer allows you: • to view the dataset as on the instrument, see step 3 below • to display waveforms, trends, events, quality, and harmonics from the dataset, see step 4 below. 22

Using Datasets (not for Fluke 43B)
A dataset contains all data belonging to a measurement, including trend data and
instrument setup data.
For the Logger function the dataset contains only the setup data. Dedicated software
(Power-Log) is available for advanced analysis and reporting of logger data.
Retrieving, Saving, Sending Back a Dataset
Proceed as follows to retrieve, save, and send back a dataset:
1.
Click to retrieve the dataset of the actual measurement
Select
I
nstrument – Di
splay Dataset
to retrieve the actual dataset or a dataset
from the Power Quality Analyzer memory.
2.
Select the required dataset and click on
S
tart
.
Retrieving one dataset can take up to 2 minutes at the highest baud rate.
When ready, the dataset window will be displayed:
3.
Select
F
ile – S
ave As
to save the dataset.
Use
.fvf
(FlukeView format) to save the dataset window and the dataset data.
A dataset that has been saved as a
.fvf
file can be opened again, can be viewed using
the viewer, and can be send back to the Analyzer.
4.
Click to send the active dataset to the Power Quality Analyzer.
Select
I
nstrument – Se
nd Dataset
to select the dataset to be send to the Analyzer.
Analyzing a Dataset
1.
Retrieve a dataset or open a saved dataset.
2.
In the Dataset window click
View
to open the dataset viewer.
The dataset viewer disconnects the instrument and connects to a virtual Power Quality
Analyzer that has been provided with the data retrieved from the instrument. The virtual
Analyzer shows a Fluke 43x screen.
The viewer allows you:
to view the dataset as on the instrument, see step 3 below
to display waveforms, trends, events, quality, and harmonics from the dataset, see
step 4 below.
