Event Logging

The event records from GE Vernova Multilin devices can be automatically downloaded from each device and stored in a centralized, system-wide, sequence of event record. Viewpoint Monitoring will continually poll each GE Vernova Multilin device to see if any new events have been added to that device's event record. Once a new event has been detected, the event record will be downloaded and the new events will be stored in the system-wide sequence of events record.

Event Viewing

The Event Viewer centrally stores and displays information about preset and configured systems events. Each event in the record contains the following information. This data can be sorted by any of the fields indicated below:

Trending Reports

Create a Historical Archive of Monitored Data from Multiple Devices

Data Logging

• Log and trend the value of monitored analog or digital points
• View logged data for a pre-configured, customized recorded time period

Records

• Create up to 100 customized records
• Store up to 50 points per record for 5000 points logged in total

Chart

• View logged data in a pre-configured, customized date range for trending analysis

Archiving Data

• Manually archive recorded data for storage onto network data repositories to reduce risk of data loss and decrease data storage requirements on local workstations

Exporting and Printing Data

• Export data into an Excel format for easy data manipulation and analysis
• Print data that is logged in trending reports
