Power Analysis
Power analysis provides automatic measurement for a number of
advanced measurement types such as power quality, harmonics,
ripple and deskew. The Power analysis software is an optional
software module. The GDS-3000 includes a 1 month trial. To install
the optional software module or the limited time trial, please see
page 193. Please see the Power Analysis manual for more details
on using the power analysis software.
Power Analysis Overview
Power Quality
Power quality measures the power of a signal by
compensating the current that leads.
Harmonics
The harmonics function shows signal harmonics
up to the 40th harmonic. Harmonic tests can be
user defined and common harmonic standards
such as IEC 61000-3-2 can also be tested for.
Ripple
The ripple function calculates the ripple and noise
of the waveform.
