This paper describes how Event Capture can be used to analyze motor startups and covers the typical initial settings for capturing and analyzing a motor startup. All PMI recorders, old or new, have the capability of analyzing motor startups using the event capture function. Event Capture was supported by WinScan and is still supported by ProVision even with PMI legacy box-type recorder hardware. The Event Capture function was developed before the Waveform Capture functions and is basically a substitute for the waveform capture in older recorders that cannot record raw waveforms. The event capture function has the advantage of using much less memory than the waveform capture function. The timestamp of a significant change event can be used to find the same disturbance in the Event Change Report if further analysis is required.
