General Description
Description Specifically for this Instrument
Parameters: HYSt, rAtE, Sto-ou, Sto-in, L_triG, H_triG, t.StorE
Power and energy measurement in memory mode:
Scope of stored values for power and energy measurements:
Mains disturbance recording in memory mode:
If the TRMS half-wave value exceeds the specified limit, a brief overvoltage (swell) is detected.
Parameter: SWELL LiMit
The ratio of pulse duration to pulse period is measured with periodic square-wave signals and is
displayed as a percentage.
Pulse duration (t
Duty cycle (%) =
Pulse period (t
As a standard feature during harmonic analysis, THD is displayed in accordance with the
equation: "THD = total TRMS value of harmonics ÷ TRMS value of the fundamental frequency".
As opposed to this, harmonic distortion of the individual harmonics appears in the displays for the
individual harmonics.
"Distortion component = TRMS value of the harmonic ÷ TRMS value of the fundamental
frequency.
Steep sloped voltage peaks; parameter: trAnS LiMit
A level can be set here as of which a voltage transient is recorded. This is a polarity independent
entry relative to the momentary value. The smallest value is 200 V. Regardless of the selected
measuring range, acquisition always takes place within a range of 200 ... 1000 V.
Limiting of recording duration (hh:min:ss) to a maximum of 99 hours, 59 minutes and 59
seconds, or unlimited recording time: parameter = on.
