HRM – Numerical Harmonics

To view or record harmonics on the 928A, you must
select one or both of the measurement channels, for
voltage and/or current. You can view up to two volt-
ages, two currents or a voltage and current. It does not
matter which channel you select (A or B) to measure
voltage or current.

Setup

1. Make sure to select the correct signals for Chan-

nels A and B - for example press

2nd

>

AV

to

measure voltage on channel A.

2. Press

HRM

and connect the meter probes be-

tween the 928A and the circuit under test.

3. Read the display; this example indicates channel

A voltage magnitudes (fundamental through the
7th harmonic) and phase angle in degrees.

4. Press

or

to view the full range of tabulated

harmonic values from the fundamental to the
50th harmonic. Press the arrow keys to move
through the individual harmonic numbers and
levels in groups of seven.

5. To read Channel B numerical harmonics, press

HRM

. Repeated pressing HRM toggles between

Channel A and B numerical harmonic data.
