In the General tab, you make the basic settings, connection settings and power grid settings for the PQU-S module.
Basic settings
Module Type (information only)
Indicates the type of the current module.
Locked
You can lock a module to avoid unintentional or unauthorized changing of the module settings.
Enabled
Enable the module to record signals.
Name
You can enter a name for the module here.
Comment
You can enter a comment or description of the module here. This will be displayed as a tooltip in the signal tree.
Timebase
All signals of the module are sampled on this timebase.
Specifies the acquisition time base in ms used for ibaPQU-S and the connected modules in order to sample the raw signals.
Smallest time base: 0.025 ms.
Use module name as prefix
This option puts the module name in front of the signal names.
Connection
IP address
IP address or host name of the ibaPQU-S device (read only).
Auto enable/disable
If the value is TRUE, the data acquisition is started even though the device is missing. The missing device is temporarily disabled in the configuration. During the measurement process, ibaPDA tries to re-establish the connection to the missing device. If this is successful, the measurement is restarted automatically including the device that has been missing.
If the value is FALSE, the measurement will not be started, in case ibaPDA cannot establish a connection to the device.
Power grid
AC/DC
Select the grid type to be measured from the drop-down menu.
Power frequency
Select the power system frequency from the drop-down menu.
-
Default values: 50 Hz, 60 Hz

For “Custom” you can enter a value between 10 Hz and 80 Hz.
Reference signal
Select one of the connected phases used as reference signal to synchronize the sampling.
