California Instruments - MX Compliance Test System

  • Direct PC bus access data acquisition system provides the required sampling rate and resolution to meet IEC 61000-4-7 measurement requirements and supports high speed data transfers, unlike competing IEC test systems which provide only limited throughput using IEEE-488.
  • PC based Harmonic and Flicker test software provides real-time full color data display updates and continuous PASS/FAIL monitoring.
  • Automatic calculation of the maximum permissible system impedance Zsys, using the Zref and measured Flicker parameters, as required per EN/IEC 61000-3-11.
  • Simple user operation under Windows provides IEC test setup, data analysis, display and MS Word test reports.
  • High resolution, no gap acquisition data storage to ensure that all data can be streamed to disk (in ASCII format if needed) for later review and replay of actual test.
  • Single Step and Fast playback mode of test results
