MANTA TEST SYSTEMS
Normally it’s possible to specify each state (prefault, fault, postfault) using as few as three quantities.
Using individual phase and amplitude programming, up to 12 quantities must be specified for each state.
This is a level of programmability between normal RS-232 commands and fault playback.
Individual phase and amplitude programming allows simulation of non-standard faults, and faults with
non-zero source impedance. Simulation of standard or “classical” faults for relay testing does NOT require
individual phase and amplitude programming. Instead, use the normal command set which is summarized
in Sections 6.5.1 to 6.5.11.
