Chapter 4 Front Panel Operation 4.1 Measurement Setup Central to se ing the proper range of the instrument is the Crest Factor. Crest factor is the ratio of the peak value of a waveform to the RMS value of the waveform. For example, a perfect sine wave crest factor RMS value is 0.707*Peak.
CHAPTER 4. FRONT PANEL OPERATION 1. In the “Meter” interface Press the so key corresponding to either “U-RANGE” or “A-RANGE”, and use the knob or the arrow keys to select the voltage or current range desired. See Table 2. Press the “Enter” key to confirm the se ing. Otherwise the instrument will automatically confirm and exit the se ing a er 5 seconds of no activity.
CHAPTER 4. FRONT PANEL OPERATION 4.3 Measurement interval The measurement interval, the time during which data is taken. The fundamental frequency of the measured signals restricts the measurement intervals that yield meaningful results. For example, measuring 10Hz with an interval of less than the 0.5s se ing will not yield stable results. The unit needs a number of cycles to be present to determine the frequency, and measurement intervals are not synchronized to the input.
CHAPTER 4. FRONT PANEL OPERATION The data updating cycle refers to the cycle used for calculating sam- pling data of the measurement function. It is identical to the set value of the data updating rate. The slope refers to signal changes from low level to high level (rising edge) or from high level to low level (descending edge).
CHAPTER 4. FRONT PANEL OPERATION more accurate. When the frequency filter is switched on, the voltage or current of no more than 200Hz can be measured. The cuto frequency is 500HZ. Line filter It is inserted in the voltage and current measurement circuit and has direct influence on measurement of the voltage, current and power.

7.2.2 PLL source In the harmonic mode, 5335B adopts PLL to multiply the frequency of the input signal. The frequency multiplication output signal is used as the A/D sampling clock in the instrument so as to achieve the purpose of synchronous sampling.
CHAPTER 7. HARMONIC MEASUREMENT FUNCTION 7.2.2.1 PLL source selection The voltage or current of the input unit can be selected as the PLL source. Used for determining the fundamental wave cycle as the reference for analysis of harmonic orders. The fundamental wave frequency of the PLL source is 10Hz to 1.2kHz.

CHAPTER 7. HARMONIC MEASUREMENT FUNCTION is one-wave long, and the data measurement interval is 100ms. In this case, the harmonic measurement time is approximately morethan or equal to 150ms (data measurement interval and data processing time). Therefore, please select the data updating rate of 250ms or more for measurement and display of harmonic data. 1.800.561.8187 information@itm.com www.
