FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FastFault Debuts with ENOSERV Vector 5.0.1.0
TULSA, Oklahoma-June 24th, 2009- The ENOSERV development staff today announced the immediate availability of ENOSERV Vector v5.0.1.0, the first release featuring the intuitive FastFault user interface. The new instrument panel calculates fault values from in-service relay settings. Designing fault sequences in the field is quick and easy.
The ENOSERV Vector v5.0.1.0 update can be obtained from the online support downloads area.

With this software version you can:

• Calculate fault values from the relay's settings or other user-supplied line impedance data
• Save a constellation of fault types/distances as your default template and then set them up again in any new FastFault test with one click of the mouse!
• Simplify trouble-shooting: The FastFault interface provides instant extrapolation of phase-to-phase quantities as well as impedances, sequence components and power calculations.

Further enhancements include:

1. IMPORT OPTIONS WINDOW: Planning fault sequences with Aspen’s One Liner and exporting them to the *ss1 file format can save hours of tedious calculation but leaves the field tech with the task of implementing all of the administrative functionality that adds up to a powerful, practical test routine. No longer! With the new Import Options Window, you can define a default template in which to encapsulate each fault sequence automatically as it is imported from an *.ss1 file or other source.
   • Add custom code to be executed before or after each state sequence execution. Very useful for making calculations or clearing relay targets prior to each new test run—or for downloading targets, fault records or event reports after each execution.
   • Configure default Input/Trigger configurations. Configure the test set to advance to the postfault state when it senses the TRIP or 52a operation.
   • Configure default test set output operations. Use this feature to simulate a breaker auxiliary switch, remote communication signals or other external logic conditions.
   • Add a breaker clearing state. This option allows you to specify a minimum fault time to ensure that the relay has time to record an accurate event record. (When monitoring a relay trip contact directly, the relay may interrupt the fault before it has gathered all necessary data for its event report!)
   • Add a default “Post-Fault” state to files that have none.
   • Configure default Input/Timer settings for Pass/Fail evaluation.
   
   
   
2. NEW POST-FAULT PARSER FUNCTIONALITY: New parser variables represent the configuration and recorded results of the test set’s timers. Available in the ‘Post-States’ code window immediately after test execution, these new variables allow the test developer to make pass/fail determinations based on complex evaluations and comparisons of the ALL
   of the test set’s input-event/timer-result records.
   
   
   Also now available in the ‘Post-State’ code are commands for adding comments to the test’s Result Notes programmatically. So, for example, the test routine could automatically query the relay targets and insert the target row into the result notes to be saved and printed along with the rest of the result data. Alternatively, the code could formulate a more colloquial statement to that effect: “A query of the relay’s targets confirmed a Zone 2 operations, as expected.” …and insert that into the result notes.
