Fig. 4.18 Results of prescan and final measurement

Automatic Control of Line Impedance Stabilization Networks

The selected phases are controlled during the prescan and the final measurement
via the USERPORT with the LISN switched on.

Only one phase and one PE setting (1 out of n) can be selected for the prescan. Any
number of settings can be selected for the final measurement (m out of n).

All selected phase/PE combinations are measured during the final measurement
and the maximum value is determined.

The softkeys to select the V-network to be controlled in the

PRESCAN PHASES

and

in the

FINAL PHASES

are available either via the side menu of the

submenu or via the side menu of the

THRESHOLD SCAN

submenu.

In contrast, the

LISN

menu in the

SETUP

menu is used for the direct control of the

LISN and is not included in the automatic sequences.
