With the help of the supplied Windows Graphical User Interface program, defining harmonic waveforms is as easy as specifying the relative amplitude and phase angle for each of up to 50 harmonics. The waveform data points are generated and downloaded by the GUI to the AC source through either IEEE-488 or RS232C bus and remain in non-volatile memory. Up to twelve waveforms Harmonic waveform, Fund., 3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th. can be stored and given a user defined name for easy recall. Arbitrary Waveform Generation Using the provided GUI program or custom software, the user also has the ability to define arbitrary waveform data. Complex AC voltage anomalies can be simulated this way. The GUI program provides a catalog of custom waveforms and also allows real-world waveforms captured on a digital oscilloscope to be downloaded to one of the AC source’s waveform memories. Downloaded waveforms are retained in non- volatile memory for recall over the bus or from the front panel. User defined waveform names Simulation of severe ringing on the output of a UPS. make it easy to recall the desired waveform when needed. Lx Series - Configuration Options Transient Programming To simulate common line disturbance occurrences, the Lx Series offers a list of transient steps. These steps can be programmed from the front panel or downloaded over the interface using the GUI program supplied. The GUI allows libraries of commonly used line disturbances to be created on disk for quick recall. Once downloaded, the transient program can be executed from the PC or from the front panel. AC transient generation allows the effect of rapid changes in voltage, frequency, phase angle and waveform shape on the unit under test to be Voltage sweep transient causes output voltage to change at analyzed. The combination of transients and user a programmed rate. defined arbitrary waveforms creates a powerful test platform for AC powered products. Lx Series - Measurement and Analysis Standard Measurements The Lx Series measurement system is based The following standard measurements are on real-time digitization of the voltage and available from the front panel or via the bus: current waveforms using a 4K sample buffer. • Frequency and Phase The digitized waveform data is processed by a • Voltage (rms) Digital Signal Processor to extract conventional • Current(rms) and Peak Current load values such as rms voltage, rms current, real • Crest Factor and apparent power.

Total harmonic distortion of both voltage and current is also available. Harmonic analysis data can be displayed on the front panel display or on the PC using the GUI program. The GUI can also be used to save and print harmonics data in tabular, bar graph or time domain formats. The acquired voltage and current time- domain waveforms for each output phase can be displayed using the GUI program. Waveform Standard measurements for all phases. displays on the PC include voltage and current combined, three phase voltage, three phase current and true power.
