What is TOP?What is TOP?

TOP is an acronym for “The Output Processor”, a software tool which reads data from a variety of measurement instruments and transforms it into simplified power system analyses for inclusion in reports and documents.

System RequirementsSystem Requirements

386/486 IBM Compatible PC 4 MB RAM or more 80387 Math Co-processor Windows 3.1 or greater Windows Compatible Video Card Windows Compatible Printer Windows Compatible DOS

Data SharingData Sharing

The data being visualized in a window can be exported to a variety of other file formats including: IEEE Comtrade (.CFG) Windows Metafile (.WMF) Tagged Image Format (.TIF) Windows Bitmap (.BMP) Comma Separated Variable (.CSV)

Data Management CapabilityData Management Capability

TOP uses a system called the stack to simplify handling data from various sources.

Data DisplayData Display

TOP provides a variety of ways to visualize the data of interest. Waveform and spectrum plots Frequency response plots Summary tables Summary bar/volume charts Cumulative probability charts Probability density charts
