Power Panel
The Power Panel is the basic version of the Power Analysis Manager and is bundled
with the purchase of a U2000 Series USB power sensor. The Power Panel provides an
easy-to-use GUI that offers basic features that can be found in a typical power meter.
Key Features
– Processes and displays multi-channel power measurements (with more than
10 channels simultaneously)
– Provides larger, enhanced visual display, including power versus time graph
(trend chart)
– Performs delta and ratio computations between data from two channels
– Saves and restores instrument settings
– Stores up to 10,000 measurement points
– Stores data in comma separated value (CSV) files that are compatible with
Microsoft Excel
– Provides up to 10 frequency dependent offset (FDO) tables
– Supports time-gated measurement capability
