PC Software Features
PV Analyzer
Software for visualization, evaluation and documentation of mea-
sured characteristic curve values with database
• Measured characteristic curve values are read in from the
PROFITEST PV
• Graphic representation of the characteristic I-U curve
– With calculated MPP – maximum power point (Pmax)
– In comparison with the characteristic power curve
– In comparison with the TRMS curve
– In comparison with the STC curve
– Characteristic I-U curve with display of measuring points
• Representation of measured and calculated values under STC
• Overview of characteristic I-U curves for a given test series in
browser window
• Export of measured values or results (e.g. XLS file)
• Generation of test reports (e.g. PDF file)
• Online measurement – graphic representation of the charac-
teristic curve and measured values (also suitable for continu-
ous measurement)
• Online access to the database and file management at the
PROFITEST PV
• Compatible with MS Windows

Interface Function
Mains External power pack: connection via jack plugs,
5.5 x 2.1 mm
Temperature Connection for temperature sensor
• Instruments with 2 temperature measuring inputs:
external Pt100 for acquiring temperature at the back
of the module
• Other instruments: external Pt100 or Pt1000
(depending on variant) for measuring temperature at
the back of the reference cell
Irradiation Connection for irradiation reference sensor (Phox)
• The Pt100/Pt1000 reference sensor and the mea-
sured irradiation value are combined into a single 8-
pin plug.
4-wire measurement Measurement input (voltage measurement)
Current input Power input (for current measurement)
PC Connection via USB cable
