Description:
The PX8000 is the world’s first precision power scope, bringing oscilloscope-style time-based measurement to the world of power analyzers. With up to four channels, it can perform standard multi-phase power measurements. These measurements exist alongside oscilloscope-specific features such as cursor-based specific time period measurements to enable analysis of waveforms with transient components.
The PX8000 has a number of innovative features that support the crucial measurement and analysis of transient power profiles.
Simultaneous power calculation | Provides simultaneous voltage and current multiplication to give real-time power sampling. |
Cycle-by-cycle power trend measurement | Trend measurements between waveforms can be calculated by mathematical functions (up to four million points). |
Specific time-period measurement | Supports the capture of power parameters over specific periods of time through the definition of start and stop “cursors”. |
Specified time-period waveform measurement | Supports the capture of waveform parameters over specific periods of time through the definition of start and stop “cursors”. |
X-Y display and phase analysis | Supports X-Y axis displays as standard. It can also display lissajous waveforms of input and output for phase analysis. |
Capturing sudden or irregular phenomena | An always-active History function automatically records up to 1,000 historical waveforms. |
Long-period data capture and analysis | An accompanying PC application called PowerViewerPlus can be used to capture waveform data for further analysis. |
FFT analysis | Features arithmetical, time-shift, FFT and other computations that enable users to display waveforms with offsets and skew corrections. |
Simultaneous harmonic measurement | Makes it possible to simultaneously measure the harmonic components of voltage and current waves as well as the harmonic distortion factor. |
Multifunction snapshots | Up to 16 different waveforms- including voltage, current and power, can be displayed side-by-side, giving engineers instant snapshots of performance. |
Detailed transient analysis | Supports the measurement of all power waveform parameters between precisely defined start and stop cursors. |
Trend calculation | Built-in functions for the direct calculation of variables, such as root mean square (RMS) and mean power values, to enable the identification of cycle-by-cycle trends. |
De-skew compensation | Automatic de-skewing function eliminates offsets between current and voltage signals that may be caused by sensor or input characteristics. |
Powered by isoPRO technology | Offers industry-leading isolation performance at the highest speeds. Delivers the performance needed to develop high-efficiency inverters that operate at high voltages, large currents, and high frequency. |
