Simple Frequency Domain Analysis
Get better insight to the frequency
content of any signal with use of
the Spectrum Analyzer mode on the
WaveSurfer 510. This mode provides a
spectrum analyzer style user interface
with controls for start/stop frequency
or center frequency and span. The
unique peak search automatically
labels spectral components and pres-
ents frequency and level in an interac-
tive table. Utilize up to 20 markers to
automatically identify harmonics and
monitor how the spectrum changes
over time using the spectrogram which
can display a 2D or 3D history of the
frequency content.
SPECTRUM AND POWER ANALYZER
Power Analyzer Automates
Switching Device Loss
Measurements
Quickly measure and analyze the
operating characteristics of power
conversion devices and circuits with
the Power Analyzer option. Critical
power switching device measurements,
control loop modulation analysis,
and line power harmonic testing
are all simplied with a dedicated
user interface and automatic
measurements. Areas of turn-on,
turn-off, and conduction loss are all
identied with color-coded waveform
overlays for faster analysis.
Power Analyzer provides quick and easy
setup of voltage and current inputs and
makes measurements as simple as the
push of a button. Tools are provided to
help reduce sources of measurement
errors and the measurement
parameters provide details of single
cycle or average device power losses.
Beyond the advanced power loss
measurement capabilities, the Power
Analyzer modulation analysis
capabilities provide insight to
understand control loop response to
critical events such as a power supply’s
soft start performance or step response
to line and load changes.
The Line Power Analysis tool allows
simple and quick pre-compliance
testing to EN 61000-3-2.
