1. A method for capturing data comprises recording, within an intelligent electronic device (IED), information regarding changes to any of a firmware within the IED, a hardware within the IED, and a configuration within the IED, said method comprising:
- determining, by a processor within the IED, when an initial change in any of the firmware, the hardware and the configuration occurs;
initiating in response to the determined initial change in any of the firmware, the hardware and the configuration, by the processor, a session of a predetermined period of time;
generating and incrementing a number each time a change is made to any of the firmware, the hardware, and the configuration during said session to determine a total number of changes occurring during said session; and
generating a text file including recording information, wherein said recording information comprises recording, by the processor, information occurring during the session.

16. An intelligent end device (IED) comprising:
-
a memory; and a processor programmed to; record, within said IED, information regarding an initial change made to any of a firmware within the IED, a hardware within the IED, and a configuration within said IED; determining an occurrence of said initial change in said any of the firmware, the hardware and the configuration; initiate a pre-determined period of time, representing a session, after determination of said initial change; generate and increment a number each time said initial change is made to the configuration during said session to determine a total number of changes occurring during said session; and generate a text file including the recorded information, wherein said recorded information includes at least said total number of changes. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A power management control system (PMCS) comprising:
-
a computing unit; an interface coupled to said computing unit; and an intelligent electronic device (IED) coupled to said computing unit via said interface, wherein said IED is separate from said computing unit, and said IED comprising a processor programmed to; record, within said IED, information regarding an initial change made to any of a firmware within the IED, a hardware within the IED, and a configuration within said IED; determine an occurrence of a change in any of the firmware, the hardware and the configuration; initiate a pre-determined period of time, representing a session, after determination of said initial change; generate and increment a number each time a change is made to any of the firmware, the hardware, and the configuration during said session to determine a total number of changes occurring during said session; and generate a text file including the recorded information, wherein said recorded information includes at least the total number of changes. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)
