Measuring Examples 7-7 MEASURING POWER WITH MATH FUNCTION 92B 96B When used with the optional 80i-1000s Current Probe, the ScopeMeter test tool is able to measure voltage and current at the same time. This may be used to measure average power consumption of an electrical load on a single-phase circuit. This measurement is reliable over a wide range of frequencies, irrespective of the wave shapes of voltage or current.

Measuring Examples MEASURING THREE-PHASE ON A DUAL INPUT Dual input measurements can be used for many applications. This example shows how to use these measurements to determine phase rotation of a "Y" connected three-phase system at a load center. Use alligator clips to connect the ScopeMeter test tool to the three-phase system connections. 7-9 WARNING THE SETUP REQUIRES CONNECTING TEST LEADS TO LIVE COMPONENTS OF A HIGH ENERGY CIRCUIT.
PAGE 131
7 - 10 92B/96B/99B/105B Make sure the circuit breaker is turned off. Connect the test tool to two circuit breakers of two different phases and the neutral bus bar as shown in Figure 7-9. Use the alligator clips for the red and grey 10:1 probes and black multimeter test lead. Figure 7-9. Connecting the Wires Users Manual + Do a Reset; probe scaling factor is 10:1. Set the test tool to Scope mode. Select Continuous Auto Set. Turn circuit breaker on.

Measuring Examples The upper display in Figure 7-10 shows that phase 2 (INPUT B) follows phase 1 (INPUT A). The lower display shows that phase 3 follows phase 1. 7 - 11 : Vrms AC (METER) The Volt RMS readout (about 230 Vrms) appears on the display. (see Figure 7-11.) Figure 7-10. Phase Measurements Figure 7-11.
PAGE 133
7 - 12 92B/96B/99B/105B MEASURING PHASE USING THE CURSORS 92B In this example you will use the cursors to measure the phase difference between the waveforms on INPUT A and B. Use the two waveforms from the dual input three-phase measurement in the previous exercise. Cursors allow you to make accurate digital measurements. It is advised that you first press to freeze the waveforms to be measured. Measure the two sine wave waveforms as explained in the previous example.
PAGE 134
Measuring Examples 7 - 13 The display shows the phase between the waveforms on INPUT A and INPUT B: "phase A>B -120°" (see Figure 7-12). To identify the point on the waveforms where the measurement has occurred, you can use the markers on page 3 within the More Scope window. Figure 7-12.
PAGE 135
7 - 14 MEASURING PULSE RESPONSE OF AN AMPLIFIER 92B In this example you will use cursors to measure the rise time of a pulse. Rise time is an indication of the bandwidth limitation of an analog amplifier. First you determine the 0% and 100% reference points of the waveform to be measured. These are the intersections of the waveform and the cursors. This manual determination of the reference points enables you to ignore unwanted overshoot, undershoot, or ringing.
PAGE 136
Measuring Examples 7 - 15 Set the left cursor to the low level of the waveform: see Figure 7-14. This is the 0% reference point. Set the right cursor to the high level of the waveform: see Figure 7-14. This is the 100% reference point. The test tool instantly displays the rise time: "156 ns". (See Figure 7-14.) To identify the points on the slope where the measurement has occurred, you can use the markers on page 3 within the More Scope window. Figure 7-14.
