acccurate measuurement. Thhe selected range is eff
ffective for different meeasurement
modes, such as waveform display,

2.2 Setting off Measu
urementt Interv
val
The timee for acquisittion of samppling data is determined
d
b the measuurement interrval during
by
measureement. The measurement
m
interval is determined
d
byy the data uppdating rate and
a
synchronnization sourrce. The syncchronization
n source provvides referencce signals forr
measureement, and thhe data updatting rate deteermines the updating
u
cyclle of samplin
ng data.
Measurem
ment intervval
The meaasurement innterval is deteermined by th
he data updaating rate andd synchronization
ssource. (see “2.3
“
Setting of
o Filter and Crest Factorr” for specific settings)
 Synnchronizationn
IT99121 adopts the
t frequencyy measuremeent circuit to test the inpuut signal cyclle set in
the measuremennt interval. The
T measurem
ment intervall is the integeer times of th
he test
cyccle. The meassured value of
o IT9121 is calculated by averaging sampling daata in the
meaasurement innterval. The reference
r
inp
put signal useed for defininng the input signal
meaasurement innterval is callled the synch
hronization source.
 Measurement innterval for coonventional measurement
m

However, the
t measurem
ment intervall which deterrmines the m
maximum volltage or
current is within
w
the ovverall data up
pdating cyclee. Therefore, the measureement of
Ipk+, Ipk-, Upk+, Upk--, Ucf and Icf calculated based on thee maximum voltage
v
and
current alsoo adopts the data updatin
ng cycle as thhe measurem
ment interval.
The rising or descendinng edge is sellected autom
matically to pprolong the

If there is only

(for synchrronization wiith the zero point
p
of that input signal)). The overalll interval
of the signaal voltage, cuurrent or dataa updating cyycle can be sselected as th

synchronizzation sourcee for measureement.
NOTE
Thhe data updatinng cycle refers to
t the cycle used for calculatinng sampling data of the measurrement
fuunction. It is ideentical to the seet value of the data
d updating raate.
Thhe slope refers to signal changges from low lev
vel to high leveel (rising edge) or from high leevel to low
leevel (descendingg edge).

Measurement innterval for haarmonic meaasurement
At the

m
nt, the measuurement interrval refers
to thhe first pointt 1024 from the

Vertical calibrationn
Whhen the crestt factor CF is 3, the sellected voltagge range andd current ran
nge will be
subbject to vertical calibratioon (voltage/g
grid, currentt/grid). Whenn CF is 6, th
he selected
volltage range and currentt range willl be subjectt to two-tim
me vertical calibration
(vooltage/grid, cuurrent/grid).
Horizonttal calibratiion
Whhen the “KN
NOB SEL” soft key is
i pressed and
a
“T/d” iis selected, horizontal
caliibration (scaanning speedd) adjusted by rotating the knob. IIn this casee, time/grid
infoormation chaanges can bee observed on
n the screen by rotating the knob and changing
the horizontal (time/grid)
(
s
setting.
Wheen acquisitionn is run, thee sampling rate
r
can be
chaanged by adj
djusting the horizontal
h
calibration knnob. When acquisition is stopped,
sam
mpling data can
c be ampliffied by adjussting the horiizontal calibrration knob.
Trigger delay
d
Whhen the “KNO
OB SEL” sooft key is pressed and “TD
D” is selecteed, the triggeer delay can
be adjusted by rotating thee knob. In th
his case, whhen the knobb is rotated, the trigger
poiint will movee horizontally and the deelay time willl be displayeed on the scrreen. When
the delay timee is changedd, the triggeer point ( ) will movee horizontallly, and the
disttance between the triggger point and
d the horizoontal center will be indiicated. The
triggger point is displayed aloong the top of
o the displayy grid.
Trigger waveform
w
Whhen the speccified triggeer conditionss are satisfied, the triggger waveforrm will be
dispplayed, and the triggerinng time poin
nt is called trigger poinnt. The trigg
ger point is
gennerally displaayed in the left of the display
d
screeen. Followingg the triggerr point, the
wavveform is displayed on the
t display sccreen from left
l to right oover time. Beefore using
the trigger function, the user needs to co
onfigure the following
f
paarameters:

Trigger moode
The trigger mode referrs to conditions for updaating the conntents displaayed on the
A
model and Normaal mode Autto mode: thee displayed
screen. Inccluding the Auto
waveform is updated in case of triggering in the pause ttime and auttomatically
updated inn case of no triggering in
n the pause time. Normal mode: thee displayed
content is updated
u
in caase of triggerring and not updated in ccase of no triggering.

Trigger souurce
The triggerr source is ussed for generrating triggering conditioons. The userr can select
the triggerr source from
m the input signal of thee input unit and the exteernal clock
signal.

Trigger sloope
The slope refers to siggnal changess from low level
l
to highh level (risin
ng edge) or
from highh level to loow level (descending edge).
e
Whenn used as a triggering
condition, the slope is called
c
trigger slope.

Trigger levvel
Level of trrigger slope: triggering occurs when the
t level of tthe signal off the trigger
source reaches the set trigger leveel under the specified trrigger slope conditions.
When the “KNOB
“
SEL
L” soft key is pressed and “TL” is seelected, the trrigger level

the input unit. Technical inndicators can
n be calculaated. In addiition, the ran
nge can be

a
to the input lev

acccurately compplete integraate measurem
ment.
Durring operatiion of the air-conditio
oner, refrigeerator, inducction cook and other
houusehold applliances, the working
w
statu
us will channge frequentlly, resulting in changes
of the
t working current in a large scale. The
T current may
m decreasse of dozens of amperes
to a few milliaamperes. Orddinary poweer measuringg instrumentss can only be

maxximum rangge, the measuurement resu
ult is inaccuurate. You neeed to manually switch

NOTE
When the funndamental wavee frequency is no more than 2000Hz, the frequeency filter mustt be turned
