8.5.3. “HARM" mode
Selecting the HARM mode one of the screens below will be displayed according to the
settings made as per paragraph 8.1. The screens show the harmonics (see paragraph
17.11) of the phase currents.
Example of screen in single-
phase mode
Example of screen in “3 wires”
or “4 wires” three-phase mode
The symbols used are described in Table 8
For any message displayed see Appendix 1 – MESSAGES DISPLAYED.
The displayed histograms represent the harmonic content of the current under test. The
value of the first harmonic h01 (primary at 50Hz) is not represented in scale along with the
other harmonics in order to maximise the display of the latter. In case both voltage and
current are connected to the instrument inputs, eventual negative values (therefore
represented under the horizontal axis), indicate that such current harmonics are
“generated” by the load.
Following keys are enabled:
 F3, F4: to move the cursor of the selected harmonic leftwards and rightwards
respectively. At the same time the values relevant to the order no. of
the selected harmonic and to the corresponding absolute and relative
values (calculated on the basis of the fundamental) are updated.
 F1 (only for three-phase mode): to display the values of the harmonics
of the other voltages available. The voltage displayed is indicated
above the F3 key.
 F2: to display the page of the harmonics h01 h24 (h24 symbol) or that
of the harmonics h25 h49 (h49 symbol).
 ESC: to return back to METER mode (see paragraph 8.5.2)
 SAVE: to store in the instrument memory a record of “Smp” type (see paragraph
9.2) and the instantaneous values of voltage and current present on the
instrument inputs. This function is disabled during a recording.
 ENTER/HOLD: to enable/disable the HOLD function (updating interruption) of the
displayed data. All the previous functions remain however available.
When the HOLD function is enabled, the word HOLD is displayed.
When this function is enabled it’s not possible to record or take an
energy measurement. This function is disabled during a recording or
an energy measurement.
 MENU: to enter in the MENU mode and change the instrument settings (see
paragraph 8.1 and 8.2). It’s not possible to enter the configuration
MENU during a recording or an energy measurement.
 START/STOP: to record selected parameters according to the instrument’s settings
(see chapter 10).
