PQ Canvass works with all current PMI power quality recorders, including Bolt, Revolution, Guardian, Seeker, and Boomerang. Recordings can be uploaded from PMI View (iOS or Windows) or transferred from ProVision®.

Merlin™ lives inside PQ Canvass and works on the recordings you've uploaded. It scans your data automatically, flags power quality issues, summarizes trends, and lets you ask questions in plain English (e.g. “What caused the voltage sag last Tuesday?”) instead of stepping through waveforms manually. Get started with Merlin™.
