Integrated System
The Compact iX Series represents a new generation AC and DC power source that addresses
increasing demands on test equipment to perform additional functions at a lower cost. By
combining a exible 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.
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.
Easy To Use Controls
Both the Compact iX and i Series are microprocessor controlled and can be operated from
an easy to use front panel keypad. Commonly used 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 benets of precise control
over small parameter changes, with quick sweeps through the entire range.
Applications
With precise output regulation and accuracy, the Compact iX Series AC/DC sources address
many application areas for AC and DC power testing. The Compact iX also provides a high
load current capability, single and three phase output modes, and built-in power analyzer
measurements. Additional features, including line distortion simulation (LDS) and arbitrary
waveform generation, address 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 oers the convenience of an easy
to use and fully integrated test system.
