Menu 2.13 Ratio Setup This setting has the effect of scaling the measured value of the current and voltage. For example, a 116V signal becomes 232V when the “Voltage Ratio” is set to 2. The Ranges are not effected by this setting, so the 150V range is still shown and used.
Measurement Setup Central to setting 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. The crest factor is the inverse of the normalized RMS value, 0.707 = 1.414.
Measurement Setup Note: Measurement accuracy is improved by minimizing the range for a given input signal. 3.4 Auto Voltage and Current range The measurement range adjusts automatically according to the input signal, and uses same ranges as in Fixed range mode.

Waveform Display Function The 5335B power meter displays waveform representations of the sampled data measured. This function is designed to be similar to an oscilloscope with many of the typical functions of oscilloscopes available, like trigger, run/stop and single trigger. The capture of data is not limited to that displayed onscreen, the measurement interval is also involved. For example, measuring a 15Hz signal with the interval set to 0.1s does not allow for stable measurement of the frequency.
Waveform Display Function Auto? Auto mode waiting for a trigger Trig? Single mode waiting for a trigger Capture stopped. Reached either by pressing “stop” or completing a single mode capture Stop 5.2 Trigger Setup When you need to enable the trigger function, you should select the trigger source, trigger mode, trigger slope and other trigger-related configuration.

Harmonic Measurement Function With the 100kHz bandwidth, the 5335B power meter can realize harmonic measurement of high speed and wide dynamic range. The voltage, current, active power, reactive power, phase of harmonics and total harmonic distortion (THD) factor can be tested in harmonic measurement mode. Display of harmonic parameters is either in list or bar chart form for clear analysis of test results.
