order to populate the drawing, control points must be added to offset the parsed data. The
word “Device”, the associated device number, and/or the device title (optional) indicates a
control point. For example, if the CAD-DXF reader encounters the text “Device 12 SEL-
321” in the DXF file, the information parsed by the assigned driver is offset at the upper left
corner of the letter “D” in the word “Device”. Refer to Appendix B for more information on
setting up DXF control points.
DXF drawings can be created using an off the shelf program such as AutoCAD, Turbo CAD,
Technical Visio, Drafix, or MEDUSA. The animated CAD-DXF reader also supports layered

Scale” menu option from the “Options” menu. When auto scaling is turned “ON”, the
channel data is scaled to the maximum value allocated for display from the zero reference
line. When auto scaling is in the “++” state the signals are plotted using the maximum value
allocated for display, ignoring the zero reference line.. The highest value is plotted at the
maximum position and the smallest value is plotted at the lowest position
position. This feature
shows the full profile of frequency, Vdc and load channels. In the “OFF” state all channels
are scaled according to maximum and minimum values in all of the analog channels.

AUTO CONVERT TO COMTRADE

Description: The auto convert to Comtrade dialog is used for defining the properties to automatically
convert specific file types to the IEEE C37.111 Comtrade 1999 format. Auto Convert to
Comtrade monitors the entered “Source Path” for the defined file extensions. When a file is
detected it first saves the output Comtrade file to the defined “Destination Path” then
archives the source file to the defined “Archive Path”.
Activation: Menu: Alt-O, U
Fields: Source Path: The path to monitor for the specified file types.
Destination Path: The path where the converted Comtrade files are saved.
Archive Path: The path were the original files are archived.
File Extensions: The file extensions to monitor and convert.
Minimum # of Cycles: The minimum number of cycles required before saving.
6
Millisecond Difference: The maximum number of milliseconds between samples.
Options: Start Convert: Start the conversion process.

End Convert: End the conversion process.
Close: Close the dialog.
Comments: To open the auto convert to Comtrade dialog select the "Auto Convert to Comtrade..." menu
option under the "Options" menu in the File Manager. Enter the source path, destination
path, archive path, file extension and the scan period in minutes. Auto convert to Comtrade
monitors the Source path for the defined file extensions every scan period.
To start the process, click on the "Start Convert" button. Once the conversion starts the
button caption will change to "End Convert". To end the conversion process, click on the
"End Convert" button. If a file already exists in the destination path then the file is
overwritten. The status of each scan is displayed in the Status section of the dialog.
To have the auto convert to Comtrade process started when Wavewin is ran check the
“Automatically Start Convert to Comtrade at Run Time” check box. The conversion process
is performed in the background so the dialog is not required to be open for the process to
execute. To check the status of the conversion, open the dialog. The “Next Scan In” field
reports how many minutes before the next scan is started.

Description: Turns the state of amplitude auto scaling to On, Off or ++ for all the visible analog channels.
Activation: Direct: F6 - ASV menu button

Menu: Alt-D, A, F-Off, O-On and P-Plus
Comments: The AS field displayed in the status bar indicates the auto scale’s current state, ON, OFF or
++. When auto scaling is turned “ON”, the channel data is scaled to the maximum value
allocated for display from the zero reference line. When auto scaling is in the “++” state the
signals are plotted using the maximum and minimum values allocated for display, ignoring
the zero reference line. The highest value is plotted at the maximum position and the
smallest value is plotted at the lowest position. This feature shows the full profile of
frequency, Vdc and load channels. In the “OFF” state all channels are scaled according to
maximum and minimum values in all of the analog channels.
