[Nut-upsuser] unacceptable utility voltage rate of change

A scope wouldnt do it, you couldn't stare for hours, days,
not blink & then memorise the glitches.

There are special machines that log power fluctuations.
I used one maybe in 1977, so theyre not new & can be/ were once simple :-)

With modern micro electronics one could do more logging.
Rather than look for more hardware, as inside of (eg my) APC is
stuff full already, if I were in your shoes, I'd see if maybe APC
might be able to emit a real time output one could log on PC.

Cheers,
Julian
