GSF Time-Series Library Adapter Updates

  • PhasorMeasurementMapper: Added new property to allow connection errors to not be logged in phasor measurement mapper.
  • PhasorProtocolAdapters: Updated the phasor data concentrator to re-index output stream measurements at runtime.
  • PowerCalculations: In PowerMultiCalculatorAdapter, replaced ApplySqrt3Adjustment and RemoveSqrt3Adjustment connection string parameters with the more descriptive and functional AdjustmentStrategy parameter.
