2003RP - For Easy Transient Programming
Extensive Transient Control 1
With the addition of option package -OP1, the 2003RP is capable of
producing transients with a high degree of user programmability. Set-
ting up transient programs is facilitated by a Windows™ Graphical User
Interface program that allows amplitude, frequency and event duration
to be programmed from a PC. Time resolution is 1 ms (0.001 sec) with
a minimum time interval ranging from 1 to 40 ms, depending on the
transient type. Maximum transient time intervals are 9999 seconds.
Transient programming allows the effects of common line disturbances
such as phase loss, voltage surges, sags, drop-outs and frequency fluc-
tuations on the unit under test to be evaluated.
Precision Measurements
For bench or automated test equipment (ATE) applications, the
2003RP can be ordered with the -OP1 option, offering both IEEE-488
and RS232C remote control interfaces as well as extended measure-
ments. These measurements are available from the front panel and
over the bus. The 2003RP measurements can be calibrated over the
bus, lowering cost of ownership.
SCPI Protocol Programming Commands
All functions of the 2003RP are programmable over the available
IEEE-488 or RS232C interface. For example, the following tasks can
be performed over the bus:
• Set voltage and frequency to any level
• Generate voltage dropouts, sags or surges
• Measure TRMS current, peak current, crest factor, TRMS voltage,
true power, apparent power and power factor
• Recall eight complete instrument setups from non-volatile memory
• Adjust current limit value
• Lock the front panel to prevent operator interference
• Switch between high and low output voltage range
• Drop output voltage on one or more phase outputs at specific phase
angles for a user specified duration. (see note 1)
Application Software
Windows™ application software is included with the -OP1 option pack-
age. This easy-to-use graphical interface program provides complete
control over all instrument functions using the RS232C or IEEE-488
interface. With
enhanced capa-
bilities such as
output sequenc-
ing, data logging
and transient
g e n e r a t i o n ,
many applica-
tions can be ad-
dressed without
the need to write
software.
Voltage Surge transient causes all phase
voltages to surge.
Frequency Sweep transient causes the output
frequency to change at a user specified rate.
Voltage Sweep transient causes all phase
voltages to change at a programmed rate.
Drop transient causes phase A output
voltage to drop to zero for one cycle

with option package OP1.
Note 1: Voltage drop outs can be programmed at random phase angles or at 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees with respect to phase A.
