On the menu: Power analyser with added oscilloscope
Keysight Technologies has combined the attributes of an oscilloscope into its IntegraVision power analyser. It means R&D engineers designing and testing electronic power conversion systems can now use one instrument to access dynamic views of current, voltage and power. Neither will they have to use a power analyser to make an accurate measurement and then turn to an oscilloscope to visualise repetitive and single-shot events such as turn-on and occurrence of transients.
“It will aid engineers in identifying and characterising energy efficiency improvements in devices like power inverters or converters, universal power supplies, battery systems, vehicle and aircraft power systems, lighting systems and electronic ballasts and appliances,” says Ken Christensen, product manager at Keysight Technologies.
The power analyser will suit engineers who want to quickly and interactively measure AC and DC power consumption, power conversion efficiency, operational response to stimulus and common AC power measurements such as frequency, phase, and harmonics. These actions are performed with 0.005% accuracy and 16-bit resolution. The instrument enables the characterisation of power consumption under dynamic conditions with 5MS/s digitising speed and 2MHz bandwidth.
The instrument allows engineers to address multiple test scenarios with the flexibility of wide-ranging, isolated inputs up to 1,000VRMS (Cat II). It has external sensor inputs and 2-current probes and transducers up to 10V full scale.
Keysight has also included a 12.1in capacitive touch screen with pinch, zoom and scroll capabilities, which as Christensen points out, “Makes the instrument incredibly easy to use.”
