6.1.3. "HARM" 

mode 

By selecting the HARM mode one of the below screens will be displayed according to the 
settings made as per paragraph 5.22. The screens show the harmonics (see paragraph 
16.2) of the phase or phase-to-phase voltage. 

 

 
 

Example of screen in single-

phase system

 

Example of screen in “3-wire” 

three-phase system

 

Example of screen in “4-wire” 

three-phase system

 

 

The symbols used are described in Tab. 1. For eventual messages displayed see chapter 
14. The displayed histograms represent the harmonic content of the voltage under test. 
The value of the first harmonic h01 (fundamental at 50Hz) is not represented in scale 
along with the other harmonics in order to maximize the display of the latter. In case both 
voltage and current are connected to the instrument inputs, eventual negative values of  
harmonics (therefore represented under the horizontal axis), indicate that such voltage 
harmonics are “generated” by the load. Following keys are enabled: 

 

 

F3

F4

:

 

to move the cursor of the selected harmonic leftwards and rightwards 
respectively. At the same time the values relevant to the order no. of 
the selected harmonic and to the corresponding absolute and relative 
values (calculated on the basis of the fundamental) are updated.  

 

F1 

(only for three-phase mode):  to display the values of the harmonics of 
the other voltages available. The voltage displayed is indicated above 
the F3 key. 

 

F2

to display the page of the harmonics h01 

÷

 h24 (symbol 

h24

) or the 

page of the harmonics h25 

÷

 h49 (symbol 

h49

). 

 

ESC

to return back to METER mode (see paragraph 6.1.2). 

 

SAVE

to save in the instrument memory a record of “Smp” type (see 
paragraph  5.4) and the instantaneous values of voltage and current 
present on the instrument inputs. This function is disabled during a 
recording. 

 

ENTER/HOLD

: to enable/disable the HOLD function (updating interruption) of the 

displayed data. All the previous functions remain however available. 
When the HOLD function is enabled, the word 

HOLD

 is displayed. 

When this function is enabled it’s not possible to record or take an 
energy measurement. This function is disabled during a recording or 
an energy measurement. 

 

MENU

to enter the 

MENU

 mode and change the instrument settings (see 

paragraph  5.2 and 5.3). It’s not possible to enter the configuration 
MENU during a recording or an energy measurement.  

 

START/STOP

: to record 

selected parameters

 according to the instrument’s settings 

(see chapter 7).
