Harmonic Waveform Generation
Using the latest DSP technology, the iX Series
II controller is capable of generating harmonic
waveforms to test for harmonics susceptibility
of a unit under test. Included is a Graphical User
Interface program that can be used to define
harmonic waveforms by specifying amplitude and
phase for up to 50 harmonics. The waveform
data points are generated and downloaded by
the GUI to the AC source through either the USB,
IEEE-488, RS232C bus or LAN and remain in
nonvolatile memory. Up to 200 waveforms can
be stored and given a user defined name for easy
recall.
The three phase configuration iX Series II
offers independent waveform generation on
each phase allowing three phase anomalies to
be programmed. It also allows simulation of
unbalanced harmonic line conditions.
Arbitrary Waveform Generation
[iX Series II only]
Using the provided GUI program or custom
software, the user also has the ability to define
arbitrary AC waveforms. The arbitrary waveform
method of data entry provides an alternative
method of specifying AC anomalies by providing
specific waveform data points. The GUI program
includes a catalog of custom waveforms. It also
allows real-world waveforms captured on a digital
oscilloscope to be downloaded to one of the
many AC source’s waveform memories.
Arbitrary waveform capability is a flexible way of
simulating the effect of real-world AC power line
conditions in both engineering and production
environments.
Harmonic waveform, Fund., 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th,11th and 13th.
Two hundred user defined waveforms.
iX and i Series II -
AC and DC Transient Generation
The iX and i Series II controllers have a powerful
AC and DC transient generation system that
allows complex sequences of voltage, frequency
and waveshapes to be generated. This further
enhances the i/iX’s capability to simulate AC line
conditions or DC disturbances. When combined
with the multi phase arbitrary waveform
capabilities, the AC and DC output possibilities
are truly exceptional. In three phase i/iX system
configurations, transient generation is controlled
independently yet time synchronized on all
three phases. Accurate phase angle control and
synchronized transient list execution provide
unparalleled accuracy in positioning AC output
events.
Transient programming is easily accomplished
from the front panel where clearly laid out menu’s
guide the user through the transient definition
process. The front panel provides a convenient
listing of the programmed transient sequence and
allows for transient execution, Start, Stop, Abort
and Resume operations.
User defined transient sequences can be saved
to nonvolatile memory for instant recall and
execution at a later time. The included Graphical
User Interface program supports transient
definitions using a spreadsheet-like data entry
grid. A library of frequently used transient
programs can be created on disk using this GUI
program.
Two hundred user defined waveforms.
