I will confirm this from the two other data loggers and report back. What I believe is the system is able to detect extremely fast pulses of line variation. The two devices (appear) to provide a snap shot of that condition even if its exaggerated in this one case.

All other times there have been no collaborating evidence to say either way. I will post up a screen shot later for review etc.
The line graph will show voltage averaged over the minute, is it possible you lost power for a second?

At this point I am unsure but can only offer what data I have available. The DB does indeed show a drop in line voltage to 104.6 VAC.

The two data loggers I have do not show anything and they are set to a very fine level as seen below.

What COM/ENG are you running?

We had an issue at one point with the GEM failing to transfer voltage once in awhile, all readings are fine just the voltage gets set to 0. Might be related to that.

Ben,

I do believe this is related to that issue hence why I updated the GEM to all the latest releases. I am indeed using COM 3.18 / Engine 1.49.

Please also ask Paul if the latest firmware resolves the 1 wire sensor issue. I have not attempted to reconnect the one last sensor back into the GEM because it freaked out and took the sensor grid down.
