3.4.9 Using measurement functions

The APS-1102 is equipped with the following measurement functions.
 Voltage (RMS, average DC, peak)
 Current (RMS, average DC, peak, peak hold)
 Power (effective, reactive, apparent)
 Synchronization frequency (external synchronization)
 Load power factor
 Load crest factor
 Harmonic current (50/60 Hz fundamental, up to 40th harmonics)

Measured values are displayed in the measured value window MEASURE screen, which enables the
output status to be monitored.

a) Measured value window

Figure 3-12. Example of Measured Value Window (AC-INT Mode)

When a measurement is out of range, “-----” is displayed in the numerical value field.

b) Select measurement display

Select among RMS, AVG, PEAK, or harmonic current as the measured current and voltage values to
be displayed.

See “4.3 Measurement of Harmonic Current”, for description of harmonic current

measurements.
