Software Simplifies Testing With Power Analyzers

Designed for use with the firm's PM300A and PM3300 three-phase power analyzers, this PC-based power analysis software provides advanced diagnostic features that reduce the time needed to test electronic equipment and sub-assemblies in accordance with international EMC standards relating to ac mains distortion. The software provides a GUI for configuration of both the power analyzer and any ac test source via an RS-232 or IEEE-488 interface. Its built-in diagnostics functionality eliminates the need for additional, time-consuming analysis by allowing the user to rapidly identify the occurrence of non-compliant events and to cross-reference data on screen for identification of possible reasons for non-compliance. Intuitive menus allow for rapid testing of steady state and fluctuating harmonics conditions.
