5.7 Main Harmonics Test Window Operation
Upon closing the Main setup window, the harmonics test window will appear. Tests are executed from
this window and test results are displayed in real-time. This main harmonics test window has a limited
number of controls, the function of which are explained in the table below.
Field / Control Location Description
Start button Upper left
corner Starts harmonics test using presently selected parameters. Once a test
is running, parameters cannot be changed. Starting a test also causes
data to be written to the test data file if data recorded is enabled. Each
time a test is run, a new sequential 'Test Number' is assigned. Results
for each test are automatically logged. Data for each test is only
recorded if this option is selected in the Additional Setup screen.
Once a test is running, the Start button changes to a Stop button. Also,
any menus will be disabled while a test is in progress as pulling down a
menu under Windows will cause the application to halt which would
result in data loss.
Stop button Upper left
corner Stop the acquisition process. The Stop button can be used to abort a
test prematurely. The data files will be closed and will only contain data
up to the point at which the test was aborted. Test log will indicate if the
test completed normally or was aborted by the user.
Report button Upper left
corner The Print Summary button generates a test report in an MS Word doc
file. This report contains both the voltage and current waveform and the
harmonics display graph. It also includes the current and voltage
harmonics in absolute values and as a percentage of the applied IEC
limits.
Power
Buttons Upper left
corner These button controls may be used to turn the AC power source output
on or off. The configuration can be set to use automatic power on/off,
automatic on / manual off or manual on and off control of the AC
