7. 4 9 Event Logger Operation Model L404 Only The Model L404 monitors up to four channels for the occurrence of events and stores information about each event The rate at which each input is tested for the event status is defined by the sample period Events that are shorter in duration than the period between sampling can potentially be missed For this reason the sample period should be chosen to be at least twice the fastest event rate e g An event being monitored is expected to occur no faster than once per minute The sample period should then be set to at least every 30 seconds An event starts when the input goes low and ends when the input goes high For contact closure this would be when the contact is closed and then opened The logger records the time the event started and the dura tion of the event The accuracy of the start time and duration is limited to the rate at which the inputs are tested as defined by the sample period An option to invert the displayed graph is available in the scales tab of the instrument configuration window This allows for setting the display to show a high as a low for all inputs This is the default state and will be shown as normally low until an event occurs As mentioned events start and end when the input goes low and when it goes high regardless of the graph invert option For voltage measurements this is when the voltage drops below 0 7V and goes above 0 8V For contact relay closur
