Polarity Check is a predefined measurement type, intended especially for
Measurement Type:
checking a series of test points (e.g., the connecting terminals of the burden

wiring) for correct polarity. For this purpose, the CT Analyzer injects a signal with
a special waveform similar to a saw-tooth signal with a different steepness for
the rising and the falling slope. The CPOL polarity checker from OMICRON
checks the polarity of the injected signal and provides a clear indication as to
whether the polarity is OK or not.
Checking the polarity using the Polarity Check measurement type is much faster
than conventional methods and can easily be performed by a single person.
To select the Polarity Check measurement type, use the
move the cursor to the Measurement Type field in the CT-Quick card and then
press the Polarity Check soft key.
