The simulator profile loads each time you choose Simulation Mode on the main startup window. Unlike the UUT profile, the simulator profile lets the operator change the UUT configuration items such as nominal frequency, reporting rate, class, nominal voltage, and nominal current.

  • Page 53: Testing Methods

    Software Operation Testing Methods Testing Methods A UUT can be tested with one of three methods: automated testing, general interactive testing, or custom interactive testing. To certify and verify a UUTs performance, the automated testing method must be used. Selection of a testing method depends on the test requirements and what format test results must be in.

In the Panel1 plots in Figure 4-12, Panel1 shows approximately 100% TVE for all three current phases. The voltage phases are also 100% TVE. This could be an indication that the 6135A forced all the outputs off because of a problem with the voltage and current connections to the UUT.
