Page 10: Additional Measurement Commands
Additional Measurement Commands The following additional measurement commands are provided with the Agilent Dual Power Analyzer Option 020/022. These measurement commands are optimized for use in specific applications such as evaluating uninterruptible power supplies. In this application the new commands can be used to measure transfer time, peak voltage, and phase locked loop performance of the UPS. - Page 11 MEASure:TVOLt:ABSolute? FETCh:TVOLt:ABSolute? Returns the time at which the absolute value of the measured voltage first exceeds level, with the following qualifications: The behavior of the signal before start_ time is ignored, and the absolute value of the voltage must remain above level for at least the specified min_ pulse_ width. Both start_ time and the return value are with respect to the start of the measurement buffer.

Page 17: Using The Power Analyzer Input With The Gui
Using the Power Analyzer Input with the GUI The Agilent AC Source Graphical User Interface (GUI) is an easy to use soft front panel for the Agilent 6800-series AC Power Source/Analyzers. It is supplied with your ac source. With it, you can also control the Power Analyzer input on the back of the unit. - Page 18 If you have both the Main Output and the Power Analyzer input displayed, the Main window should display both waveforms, as illustrated in the following screen shot. Making a Voltage Phase Difference Measurement The voltage phase difference measures the phase difference between the output of the ac source and the output of a UPS after ac power is restored following an ac line dropout.
- Page 19 In the dialog box that appears on the screen, enter values for the indicated parameters. The test uses these parameters to make the measurement. For a detailed explanation of the Voltage Phase Difference parameters refer to the online help by pressing the F1 key. When you are ready to make the measurement, press Measure.

Page 25: Calibration Procedure
Calibration Procedure Table B-1 lists the equipment required for calibration. Figure B-1 shows the test setup. The following procedures assume you understand how to operate front panel keys (see chapter 4). WARNING LETHAL VOLTAGES. Ac sources can supply 425 V peak at their output. DEATH on contact may result if the output terminals or circuits connected to the output are touched when power is applied. - Page 26 Calibrating and Entering Power Analyzer Voltage Calibration Values Action Display Connect an Agilent 3458A DVM (in synchronous ac volts mode) to the ac source output terminals. Short the Power Analyzer voltage terminals (V SENSE) to ensure no dc offset error. Press Shift Calibration, scroll to CAL VOLT EXT, and press Enter.
