IEC413:MCURve:LEVel
This command will set the levels for the meister curve test. The class must be set prior to
this command. The IEC413:STATe must be in the off position and the user class must be
selected to accept the command. The command will accept a sequence of five data level
parameters. The first two have a range for 0 to 20. These two parameters set the test level
in % for the frequency range 0.33 to 2 x f1 and 2 to 10 x f1 respectively. The last three
parameters set the test levels for 10 to 20 x f1and 20 to 40 x f1 in n/f. These values for n
can be up to 10,000. All are expressed in % of U1. Note that the IEC 61000-4-13 shows only
two frequency ranges in the Meister curve table but the –413 option separates the third
range in two ranges resulting in 5 instead of 4 parameters. Set both parameter 3 and 4 to
the same value to match the IEC standard table. (See table for reference).

Returned Parameters
IEC413:MCURve:DWELl
This command will set the dwell time in seconds for the meister curve test. The class must
be selected prior to this command. Query with min and max to find the range of dwell time.
The default is 10 seconds. This value may not be enough to cover the 5 minutes required by
the test for each range. The user must coordinate the step size with the dwell time to
generate the test period for each frequency range.

20
Query Syntax IEC413:MCURve:DWEL?
Returned Parameters
IEC413:MCURve:PAUSe
This command will set the pause time in seconds. This is the time between tests when
RUN:ALL is selected The class must be selected prior to this command. Query with min
and max to find the range of the dwell time. When the selected GROUP is MCURve, the
pause should normally be set to 0 as no pause is required for this test. If a pause value other
than zero is set, the interharmonic levels during the pause period will be zero.
