i/iX Series II
Regulatory Testing
As governments are moving to enforce product
quality standards, regulatory compliance testing
is becoming a requirement for a growing
number of manufacturers. The iX Series II is
designed to meet AC source requirements for
use in Euronorm EN 61000 compliance testing.
For flicker testing, the programmable output
impedance capability of the 3001iX, 5001iX
and 15003iX can be used to create the required
IEC 725 reference impedance. Run IEC61000-
4-11, IEC61000-4-14 and IEC61000-4-28 test
programs.
Multi-Box Configurations
For high power applications, two or three 5001i/
iX chassis can be combined to provide 10 to 15
kVA of single or three phase power. A 9003iX,
15003iX or 15003i three phase configuration can
be ordered with the MODE-iX option. This option
allows automatic switching between single or
three phase output mode. In single phase mode,
all current is available on phase A.
High Crest Factor
With a crest factor of up to 5:1, the i/iX Series II
AC source can drive difficult nonlinear loads with
ease. Since many modern products use switching
power supplies, they have a tendency to pull high
repetitive peak currents. The 5001iX can deliver
up to 110 Amps of repetitive peak current to
handle such loads.
Remote Control
Standard IEEE-488 and RS232C remote control
interfaces allow programming of all instrument
functions from an external computer. The
popular SCPI command protocol is used for
programming. Drivers for several popular
instrumentation programming environments
are available to facilitate systems integration of
the i/iX Series II. Instrument drivers for popular
programming environments such as National
Instruments LabView™ are available to speed up
system intergration.`
Application Software
Windows® application software is included with
the iX and i Series II¹ . This software provides
easy access to the power source’s capabilities
without the need to develop any custom code.
The following functions are available through this
GUI program:
• Steady state output control (all parameters)
• Create, run, save, reload and print
transient programs
• Generate and save harmonic
waveforms [iX only]
• Generate and save arbitrary waveforms [iX only]
• Download data from a digital storage
oscilloscope [iX only]
• Measure and log standard measurements
• Capture and display output voltage and
current waveforms [iX only]
• Measure, display, print and log harmonic
voltage and current measurements [iX only]
• Display IEEE-488 or RS232C bus traffic to
and from the AC Source to help you develop
your own test programs..
