Software Version and Related Information

Older PSCSV

Be careful. This is an older version of PSCSV that will not work with new units.

  • PSCSV_setup_v1103 (1.4 MB) [SHA256] Version 1.103 released July 13, 2007.
  • A previous release of PSCSV that allows you to open older data files that are not compatible with the latest PSCSV release.
  • To install, run the downloaded file.

Other Software

PMU Connection Tester (NOTE: This is an External Link) The PMU Connection Tester application verifies that the data stream from any known phasor measurement device is being received. Supports the following phasor data protocols: IEEE C37.118 (Version 1/Draft 7, Draft 6), IEEE 1344, BPA PDCstream, SEL Fast Message, FNET streaming data protocol and Macrodyne. It is also part of the openPDC family of products.

openPDC (NOTE: This is an External Link) The openPDC is a complete Phasor Data Concentrator software system designed to process streaming time-series data in real-time. Measured data gathered with GPS-time from many hundreds of input sources is time-sorted and provided to user defined actions as well as to custom outputs for archival. They also have a PMU Connection Tester.

Security Information

Security features and definition are available in the Operations Manual, Chapter 7.14

Troubleshooting:

Reading Older Documents

If you are having trouble reading old documents created with previous version of the software, try renaming the document's extension to match the new extensions:

Document

Pre Beta Extension

Beta Extension

Broadcast Data

*.1133

*.1133B

Revenue Data

*.1133

*.1133R

Compatibility

All versions greater than 0.700 are completely incompatible with firmware earlier than 25 OCT 2000. All previously saved data files will not be recognized. If you have a unit with firmware dated earlier than 25 OCT 2000, you must send your unit back in.

Security

If you are having trouble connecting to Model 1133A, refer to the Operation Manual, Chapter 7.14 for security information.

RS232 Support

Problem programs

Two styles of programs that may cause interfere with the communication of the 1133A are identified.

  1. Palm Hotsync: If Hotsync is configured to connect to a device over the RS-232 port then Hotsync must be turned off before trying to connect to an 1133A because Hotsync software will not share the RS-232 port making it impossible to connect to an 1133A.
  2. Virus scanners: Virus scanners with real-time file monitoring features turned on may cause delays in receiving data. The PSCSV program creates a file on the computer hard drive and constantly writes to the created file during broadcasts or data downloads. If there is a large quantity of data the virus scanner cannot keep up with the data flow.

The solution is to turn off the real-time file monitoring feature.

Bandwidth Limitations

The default baud rate for 1133's and PSCSV is set to 38400 (to minimize the serial driver problem below). This baud rate does not have enough bandwidth to download broadcast waveform data (see the table below).

Data Type Required Bandwidth
(bytes/sec)
Basic Broadcast 24 - 244
Energy Broadcast 22 - 182
Harmonics Broadcast 92 - 2492
Phasor Broadcast 920
Summ Harm Broadcast 20 - 140
Waveform Broadcast 7960

 

Baud *Available Bandwidth
(bytes/sec)
115200 11520
57600 5760
38400 3840
28800 2880
19200 1920
14400 1440
9600 960

* Assumes 8 Data bits, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit


Windows Serial Driver Support

The default Win32 serial drivers are not capable of reliably sustaining baud rates of 57600 or better. If PSCSV detects any hardware and or serial driver communication errors it updates the status bar thus:

If you see RECV ERRs, then you should configure your unit to use a lower baud rate.

Changing an 1133's baud rate

  1. Using the current connection, configure the unit's comm ports (Connection, Configure, Communication Ports). Change the baud rate on the correct port.
  2. Click OK.
  3. Close the current connection (Connection, Close).
  4. Create a new RS232 connection (Connection, New).
  5. Select Serial Port. Make sure that the baud rate is set to the same baud rate as the unit.
  6. Click Next.
  7. Name the new connection by typing in a name under "Save Connection As". I recommend putting the baud rate in as part of the name.
  8. Click Finish.
  9. Answer Yes to the question about opening the new connection. This is necessary because the old connection will not work any more because the baud rate of the established connection in PSCSV is not that of the 1133A.

Steps to determine Processor Type:

  1. Download the Firmware Uploader.
  2. Run the Firmware Uploader.
  3. Click Tools.
  4. Click Processor Type.
  5. A window will pop up indicating the Processor Type.
  6. If the Processor Type is 168 then you have the latest mother board and the firmware and Firmware Updater are compatible.
  7. If the Processor Type is 167 then you have an old mother board and require an upgrade. Contact the factory for information.

Older Firmware and Uploader

Model 1133A Firmware

  • Read the release notes BEFORE downloading any firmware.
  • You need the Firmware Uploader along with this file in order to update your Model 1133A ROM.
  • Not compatible with early 1133A mother boards. The Firmware Uploader will not upload data to Processor Type: '167'. See below for checking Processor Type

Firmware Uploader

  • Software that upgrades an 1133 via a serial port or interface card.

How do I find my firmware revisions?

From the 1133A front panel:

Press and hold the STATUS/TIME button until you see the display flash (about 3 seconds). The display should now show the Serial Number, ROM DATE, and DSP. If this information is not displayed then press and release (do not hold) the STATUS/TIME button to scroll through the display choices. The ROM DATE is the Host Processor firmware revision and the DSP is the DSP Processor firmware revision.

To return to the normal STATUS/TIME display, press and hold the STATUS/TIME button until you see the display flash (about 3 seconds).

From PSCSV:

Run PSCSV and connect to the 1133A.
