Control / Display Description
past is maximum and will no longer update as the total test time
is determined by the operator now and not the program.
Revert to
Steady State
on Abort When selected, the output of the power source will be set back
to the steady state settings in effect before the start of the test
when the operator aborts a test. Normally, the output of the
source at the end of a test run is determined by the settings in
the test sequence file loaded.
Options This section contains additional options that can be set by the operator as
needed. The following options are available:
Auto Acquire
EUT Data
after
execution When set, this option causes the GUI program to initiate an EUT
performance data measurement sequence automatically at the
end of a test (normal mode) or test step (single step mode).
Show Phase
B, C data For three-
phase EUT‟s, data for phases B and C can be
displayed as well. In most cases, the settings for all three
phases are the same and there is no need to display them all as
it takes up screen space. However, this is not the case for
voltage imbalance tests. This is a display feature only and has
no effect on the actual test. Note however, that if the power
source is in single-phase mode, settings for phase B and C will
be ignored. The phase mode of the power source can only be
changed from the main GUI screen.
Test Status This area of the Test Control tab displays test execution status for each individual
test step as well as the complete test. The top section shows the complete test
time and what part has been completed so far. The bottom section shows the
same information for the present test step.
Test Description The area at the top of the Test Control tab is used to display additional
information about the selected test tab. It is for information purposes only and has
no effect on the actual test execution.
Table Header The table header is shown against a yellow background and shows the table from
which this test sequence was selected.
Test Sequence Data
Grid The test sequence data grid displays the specific parameters used to program the
power source. This data implements the required tests. The parameters are
loaded for the referenced ini file in the test table on the Test Selection tab. It is
possible to edit this information if needed which allows variations on any of these
tests to be made. Any changes can be saved to a new file. The standard provided
test files are write protected however and should not be overwritten.
The following columns/data fields are available in this table for each test step
(row).
Step number Sequential number from 1 through end of sequence.
Freq Test frequency in Hz
FSlew Frequency slew rate in Hz/sec
Volt A Test voltage for phase/output A in Vrms or Vdc depending on
mode.
VSlew A Voltage slew rate in V/sec
Func A Waveform function. Default is SINE for AC mode and DC for DC
mode. Arbitrary waveform can be used in AC mode if this
capability is supported by the power source.
Volt B Test voltage for phase/output B in Vrms or Vdc depending on
mode.
VSlew B Voltage slew rate in V/sec
Func B Waveform function. Default is SINE for AC mode and DC for DC
mode. Arbitrary waveform can be used in AC mode if this
capability is supported by the power source.
Volt C Test voltage for phase/output C in Vrms or Vdc depending on
mode.
VSlew C Voltage slew rate in V/sec
Func C Waveform function. Default is SINE for AC mode and DC for DC
mode. Arbitrary waveform can be used in AC mode if this
