2.5 TESTING THE DEMO BOARD
This section will explain how the 71M6534/6534H IC and the peripherals can be tested. Hints given in this
section will help evaluating the features of the Demo Board and understanding the IC and its peripherals.
2.5.1 FUNCTIONAL METER TEST
This is the test that every Demo Board has to pass before being integrated into a Demo Kit. Before going into
the functional meter test, the Demo Board has already passed a series of bench-top tests, but the functional
meter test is the first test that applies realistic high voltages (and current signals from current transformers) to
the Demo Board.
Figure 2-13 shows a meter connected to a typical calibration system. The calibrator supplies calibrated voltage
and current signals to the meter. It should be noted that the current flows through the CT or CTs that are not
part of the Demo Board. The Demo Board rather receives the voltage output signals from the CT. An optical
pickup senses the pulses emitted by the meter and reports them to the calibrator. Some calibration systems
have electrical pickups. The calibrator measures the time between the pulses and compares it to the expected
time, based on the meter Kh and the applied power.

Figure 2-13: Meter with Calibration System
TERIDIAN Demo Boards are not calibrated prior to shipping. However, the Demo Board pulse outputs are
tested and compared to the expected pulse output. Figure 2-14 shows the screen on the controlling PC for a
typical Demo Board. The number in the red field under “As Found” represents the error measured for phase A,
while the number in the red field under “As Left” represents the error measured for phase B. Both numbers are
given in percent. This means that for the measured Demo Board, the sum of all errors resulting from tolerances
of PCB components, CTs, and 71M6534/6534H tolerances was –2.8% and –3.8%, a range that can easily be
compensated by calibration.
