1. Introduction
1.1 Manual Organization
This manual describes the operation of the California Instruments Compliance Test System
Software when used in conjunction with the CTS hardware. Its primary function is as a reference
manual. If you have a question about a specific screen or how to perform a certain task, turn to
the appropriate section of the manual. The manual is organized in accordance with the normal
test procedure you would follow when testing for IEC compliance.
Some assumptions were made when producing this documentation. Specifically, it is assumed
that you are familiar with the IEC 61000-3-2 and IEC 61000-3-3 standards and their requirements.
Some background information on the IEC standards covered by the CTS system is included in
chapter 2. This information is subject to change however as standards do change. We
recommend you stay current with evolving test standards and regulations. Furthermore, it is also
assumed that you are familiar with operating a personal computer under the Microsoft Windows™
environment.
The manual is organized as follows:
Chapter 1 describes the organization of the user manual and provides a brief overview
of the CTS system components.
Chapter 2 provides an overview of the relevant IEC regulations and how compliance
testing to these regulations is implemented in the CTS 3.0 Software.
Chapter 3 covers installation of the hardware and software components required to
operate the CTS system. Proper installation of both hardware and software
is essential. This chapter walks the user through the hardware setup and the
software installation, process one step at a time.
Chapter 4 Overview of the program's menu structure
Chapter 5 covers IEC 61000-3-2 harmonics testing. This chapter provides step by step
instructions on how to set up the correct test mode and perform the
necessary steps to perform a quasi-stationary or transitory Harmonics test
on the EUT.
