  • Patent number: 5408523
    Abstract: A stand-alone electronic measuring instrument for measuring AC (alternate current) power parameters on a utility distribution system wherein the measurement results are communicated telephonically to a facsimile device. Well-known techniques are used to acquire and accumulate analog signals representative of voltages and currents on an AC power system and digital signals. If the signals exceed a programmed threshold, or if an interval of time elapses, or if some other triggering even occurs, the instrument prepares a bit-mapped digital report on its accumulated input signals which may contain text, graphics, or both. The instrument then employs well-known techniques to telephonically transmit this report directly to a facsimile receiver without employing an intervening computer system.
