When you change to all modes, except Inrush mode, the voltage and the
current ranges will be set to auto.
When you change to Inrush mode the voltage and current ranges will be
set to the defaults set up under the Inrush mode setup
Setup Mode
Choose the mode that you want to setup.
Ballast Setup
- The ballast mode is fully automatic and no setup is required.
In ballast mode, the automatically makes measurements that are
synchronized to 50, 60 or 400Hz line inputs and simultaneously measures the
switching high frequency output.
Inrush Setup
- Choose the default starting current range and the default starting
voltage range. Start with the maximum range and then set the mode and make
measurements. Choose a lower range with the soft-keys for more accuracy once
you begin to make measurements.
Standby Power Setup
- The time window is the time over which the
will average the samples. Note that the measurements will only update at the
period specified in the time window, with the exception of Vrms, Vcf, Frequency,
Vthd, and Vharmonics magnitude and phase which will continue to update every
0.5 seconds.
See the technical notes at
for more information on standby
power including the articles "Why Measure Low Standby Power?", "Standby &
Low Power Measurements" and "Standby Power to IEC62301".
Integrator Setup
- The Integrator on the operates in two methods, the
Manual Start Method and the Clock Start Method.
In the Manual Start Method the integrator will start and stop when the user
presses the start/stop button and will reset when the user presses the reset
button.
In the Clock Start Method the will use its real time clock to start the
integrator based on the date and time set up by the user. The user will also
