The 5.0MHz sampling VECTO TRANSIENT is a multifunction, waveform synchronised, Ed3.0 Class-A power quality based transient recording device, with the ability to store full resolution raw waveforms. A number of triggering conditions can be used to capture events with full 5 MHz diagnostic waveforms, including absolute value exceedance and rate of change exceedances.
The device is permanently GPS or PTP time synchronised to within <100ns from absolute time, and offers high accuracy and high-bandwidth analog inputs with selectable input range. It offers secure Gigabit bandwidth IP integration via Ethernet, Fiber, WiFi and 4G Cellular interfaces. The devices are powered from either AC, DC or POE-Plus sources and offers built-in battery support. VECTO devices can operate stand-alone or as part of a fleet of permanently connected devices managed by VECTO Grid OS, the big data hosting, visualisation, analysis & reporting software platform. Various add-on software modules are available.
