California Instruments Compact i/iX series ac power sources - available in the UK from TTid
|
|
|
| |

Description The Compact iX Series represents a
new generation of AC/DC power sources that address the increasing demands on
test equipment to perform additional functions at a lower cost. By combining
a flexible AC/DC power source with a high performance power analyzer, the
Compact iX Series is capable of handling complex applications that have
traditionally required multiple systems.

Brochure/Data Sheet
The sleek integrated approach of the Compact iX Series avoids cable clutter
that is commonly found in test systems. All connections are made internally
and the need for digital multimeters, power harmonics analyzers, and current
shunts or clamps is eliminated.
Since many components in the Compact iX Series are shared between the AC/DC
source and the power analyzer, the total cost of the integrated system is
less than the typical cost of a multiple unit system.
For less demanding applications, the Compact i Series provides similar
output and transient capabilities as the Compact iX Series, as well as basic
power measurements.
Key Features
* 750 VA to 2250 VA of AC Output Power
* Combines AC/DC source and power analyzer
* Harmonic analysis of Voltage and Current
* AC, DC and AC+DC Output Modes
* Multiple Chassis Configurations
* Powerful output transient generation
* High Crest Factor Capability
* Arbitrary waveform generation
* Single and Three Phase models available
Easy To Use Local Controls
Both the iX Series II and i Series II are microprocessor controlled and can
be operated from an easy to use front panel keypad. Functions are grouped
logically and are directly accessible from the keypad. This eliminates the
need to search through various levels of menus and/or soft keys. A large
analog control knob can be used to quickly slew output parameters. This knob
is controlled by a dynamic rate change algorithm that combines the benefits
of precise control over small parameter changes with quick sweeps through
the entire range.
Applications
With precise output regulation and accuracy, the iX Series II AC and DC
sources address many application areas for AC and DC power testing. The iX
also provides a high load current capability, multi or single phase output
modes, and built-in power analyzer measurements. Additional features
including line distortion simulation (LDS), arbitrary waveform generation,
and programmable output impedance address requirements for product quality
and regulatory compliance testing.
Product Evaluation and Test
Increasingly, manufacturers of electronic equipment and appliances are
required to fully evaluate and test their products over a wide range of
input line conditions. The built-in output transient generation and readback
measurement capability offers the convenience of an easy to use and
integrated test system.
Avionics
With an output frequency range to 1000 Hz, at up to 150 VRMS, the iX Series
II is well suited for aerospace applications. Precise frequency control and
accurate load regulation are key requirements in these applications. The
standard IEEE-488 control interface and SCPI command language provide for
easy integration into existing ATE systems. Since the iX Series II can
eliminate the need for several additional pieces of test equipment and only
occupies 7 inches of rack space (4U), saving both cost and space. Instrument
drivers for popular programming environments such as National Instruments
LabView, DO-160, ABD-0100, MIL-STD-704A-F, and Boeing 7E73B-0147 are
available to speed up system integration.
Remote Control
Standard IEEE-488 and RS232C remote control interfaces allow programming of
all instrument functions from an external computer. The popular SCPI command
protocol is used for programming. Drivers for several popular
instrumentation programming environments are available to facilitate systems
integration of the i/iX Series II.
Instrument Control Software
Windowsฎ Instrument Control Software is provided with the iX and i Series
II. This software provides easy access to the power sources capabilities
without the need to develop any custom code. The following functions are
available through this GUI program:
* Steady state output control (all parameters)
* Create, run, save, reload and print transient programs
* Generate and save harmonic waveforms [iX only]
* Generate and save arbitrary waveforms [iX only]
* Measure & log standard measurements
* Capture & display output voltage & current waveforms [iX only]
* Measure, display, print & log harmonic voltage & current measurements [iX
only]
* Display bus traffic to & from the AC Source to help you develop your own
test programs.
* Toggle between single and three phase output (2253 i/iX only).
