4.5 Standard Measurements

Standard measurements are always available through the MEAS key on the front panel. These
measurements are spread across two to four screens to enhance readability. Switching between
these screens can be done by successively pressing the MEAS button on the front panel. This
will cause the screen to cycle through all available measurement screens.

The iX Series has a fourth measurement screen for harmonics and trace analysis
measurements. This subject is covered in the next chapter.

Measurements are always running in the background. When the user selects a measurement
screen for display, the AC source first updates all the measurement parameters before
displaying the requested screen. This process may take up to a second. Consequently, pressing
