3 Harmonic Measurement Conditions (Option)
Harmonic Measurement Conditions (HRM SET)
Using harmonic measurement, you can measure functions that are based on the voltage, current, and power
harmonics and their distortion factors; on the phase angle of each harmonic relative to the fundamental; etc. You
can also compute the harmonic distortion factors for voltage and current.
For a list of the measurement functions that can be measured with harmonic measurement and their
descriptions, see “Harmonic Measurement Functions” under “Items That This Instrument Can Measure.”

PLL Source (PLL Source)
For harmonics to be measured, the fundamental period (the period of the fundamental signal) that will be used to
analyze the harmonics must be determined. The signal for determining the fundamental period is the PLL (phase
locked loop) source.
Select the PLL source from the choices below. The available options vary depending on the installed elements.
U1, I1, U2, I2, U3, I3, U4, I4, U5, I5, U6, I6, and Ext Clk
*
* If you select Ext Clk, the frequency of the signal applied to the rear panel’s external clock input connector
(EXT CLK) is used as the fundamental frequency for harmonic measurement. For the EXT CLK connector
specifications, see section 4.3 in the getting started guide, IM WT1801-03EN.
