7. Recording
data
The power analyzer has been pre-configured at the factory to begin recording data immediately. Simply
change the analyzer to run mode (Section 5.4) and begin collecting data using the factory default
settings. If you are unsure as to what these factory settings are, refer to the quick reference guide,
located in section 12 of this instruction manual. It contains a complete listing of all programming
parameters and the factory default settings.
If you are using the power analyzer for the first time, we recommend that you follow the following
procedure for creating a new file for recording data:
1) Turn the instrument on and select the harmonics program. (Section 3.1)
2) Verify that the measurement type and voltage and current ratios are correct on the setup screen.
(Section 4.5)
3) If not correct, change these parameters in the measure menu. (Section 5.2.1)
4) Select the desired recording period for the analysis that you are conducting. (Section 5.2.2)
5) Create a file name and select the appropriate file type. (Section 5.2.2)
6) Choose the desired measurement parameters for the analysis that you are conducting. (Section
5.2.2)
Check the setup screen after programming the analyzer to verify that the available recording time is
sufficient for your needs. (Section 4.5) If the time is not sufficient, you can setup trigger points to
customize your data collection, capturing only the data that falls outside normal operating parameters.
(Section 5.2.2)
