MX Compliance Test System System Administrator Manual
1 Introduction
This manual is intended for the system administrator of the MX45-3Pi-CTSH and MX45-3Pi-CTSL
compliance test systems. Several aspects of the CTSMXH/L software operation can be set using
the configuration module. This includes IEC test limits, modes of operation, feature selection etc.
These settings are password protected to ensure that no changes by unauthorized personnel are
made. As a system administrator however, you have the option of changing any aspect of the
MXCTS configuration.
Note that doing so may invalidate the compliance to existing IEC test standards. The MXCTS
system is shipped with all parameters set to comply with prevailing IEC standards at the time of
shipment. Making changes to any of these password-protected features is done solely at your
own risk.
The following aspects of the CTSMXH/L software operation can be changed using the
Ctsmxl_config.exe or the Ctsmxh_config.exe program:
• EN/IEC Harmonics Limits for class A, B, C and D. - (CTSMXL only)
• EN/IEC Harmonics Limits for Stage 1 and Stage 2 connections. (CTSMXH only)
• EN/IEC Flicker transfer function for 50 Hz and 60 Hz flicker operation
• EN/IEC Flicker test limits for Pst, dc, dt and dmax
• Source voltage distortion limits for IEC harmonics test
• Miscellaneous parameters
All parameters and settings are stored in the test_summary.mdb database located in the
database subdirectory. The CTSMXL and CTSMXH programs each maintain there own
database in their own sub directories. These databases are NOT interchangeable. Changes are
time stamped and the user name is logged with the changes for audit purposes. Do not attempt to
edit this database in any other way than using the supplied Ctsmxl_config.exe or
Ctsmxh_config.exe programs. If this database gets corrupted, the main CTSMXH/L program will
not function.
