Atec California-Instruments-15001iX - Manual (Page 4)

The
iX Series is much more than a programmable AC and DC power source. It also
incorporates an advanced digital signal processor based data acquisition system that
continuously monitors all AC source and load parameters. This data acquisition system
forms the basis for all measurement and analysis functions. These functions are
accessible from the front panel and the remote control interface.
Conventional Measurements
Common AC and DC
measurement parameters are
automatically provided by the data
acquisition system. These values are
displayed in numeric form on the front
panel LCD display. The following
measurements are available:
Frequency, V
rms
, I
rms
,, I
pk
, Crest Factor,
Real Power, VA Power, Power Factor.
Harmonic Analysis
The
iX Series provides detailed
amplitude and phase information on up
to 50 harmonics of the fundamental
voltage and current for either one or
three phases. Harmonic content can be
displayed in both tabular and graphical
formats on the front panel LCD for
immediate feedback to the operator.
Alternatively, the included GUI program
can be used to display, print and save
harmonic measurement data. Total
harmonic distortion of both voltage and
current is calculated from the harmonic
data.
Waveform Acquisition
The measurement system is
based on real-time digitization of the
voltage and current waveforms using a
4K deep sample buffer. This time
domain information provides detailed
information on both voltage and current
waveshapes. Waveform acquisitions
can be triggered at a specific phase
angle or from a transient program to
allow precise positioning of the
captured waveform with respect to the
AC source output.
The front panel LCD displays captured
waveforms with cursor readouts. The
included GUI program also allows
acquired waveform data to be
displayed, printed and saved to disk.

ensure quality, reliability
and conformance to
specifications.
CE Mark
The
iX Series power
sources (-400 models)
have been fully tested
for compliance with
1997 CE Mark
requirements. This
allows these products to
be used throughout the
European Economic
Community.
