FREE COMTRADE VIEWER
Empower your ability to plan, control and make data-driven decisions
Read Comtrade Files
PQSCADA Sapphire is a free COMTRADE viewer developed by Elspec. It reads COMTRADE files and transform them into high quality graphics for empowering your ability to plan, control and make data-driven decisions.
COMTRADE is a Common file format used for storing waveforms, logical events and descriptive data for power system disturbance events. As power disturbance event analysis usually includes a large volume of data, it is challenging to quickly communicate the data findings and identify patterns to pull insights without visualization.
This is where our PQSCADA Sapphire free COMTRADE viewer comes in. PQSCADA Sapphire offers numerous ways to visualize data from the acquired COMTRADE file.
