OPEN PREVIOUS CURVE COLLECTION COMMAND

A “previous curve collection” contains the following information:

      Time-versus-current characteristics of overcurrent relays, fuses, reclosers, damage curves as well text and graphic annotation that were displayed on the OC Curves Window.

      Impedance characteristics of distance relays, remote line impedances, load region as well text and graphic annotation that were displayed on the DS Relays Window.

The program lets you store one or more curve collections in binary files called Previous Curves Collection (PCC) files.  The Open Previous Curve Collection command in the Main Window lets you recall, view or edit a curve collection within a PCC file.
