switch control. Data logs shall display the same parameters as displayed in the Generator Set
and Transfer Switch Pages.
1.1.1.12 The user shall have the capability to generate reports against any configured device. The report
shows a graphical representation of the selected parameter/s over the past 24 hours, past 7 days,
past 30 days or customized intervals. These parameters are also plotted on a time scale with a
summary of the minimum, maximum and average values. A report must be exported in a CSV
file format for further analysis (PowerCommand 550 Remote Monitoring System only).
