PBZ Series: How to Output Synchronised Square Wave from TRIG OUT Terminal

PBZ Series: How to Output Synchronised Square Wave from TRIG OUT Terminal To transmit a synchronised trigger pulse for output, you can create a trigger signal output (TRIG OUT): through the sequence function or with the following settings. When you output a square wave signal, it is easier to configure the following settings. The settings are available in a single operation only, not in a synch...

Current and Voltage Accuracy in Two Setting Methods

Current and Voltage Accuracy in Two Setting Methods When setting the output current or voltage from DC power supply, a higher accuracy can be achieved by panel setting or remote PC setting instead of ammeter adjustment. Below explains the accuracy difference between these two methods taking PMX35-1A and PMX18-5A as an example. CC Accuracy 1. Panel Setting/Remote PC Setting Accuracy When ...

How to Enable Positive/Negative Output from DC Power Supply

How to Enable Positive/Negative Output from DC Power Supply DC power supply can provide dual (positive and negative) output by following the method described in Section 1 below. 1. How to Produce Positive/Negative Output 1. Connect Power Supply 1 to Power Supply 2 in series. 2. Connect COM terminal to GND terminal. 3. Set each voltage from Power Supply 1 and 2. 2. Dual Tracking Functio...

PLZ Series: How to Effectively Improve Safety during Load Testing of Non-isolated AC/DC Converter

PLZ Series: How to Effectively Improve Safety during Load Testing of Non-isolated AC/DC Converter Considering minimising the potential shock hazard, the use of an isolation transformer or regulated power supply is critical during load testing of a non-isolated AC/DC converter (such as PFC). This white paper explains; what happens without an isolation transformer or regulated AC power supply and h...

PBZ Series: How to Change Pulse Width Using Sequence Function

PBZ Series: How to Change Pulse Width Using Sequence Function PBZ Series can change the square waveform frequency and duty cycle. Using the sequence function, you can also change the pulse width. The following sections explain how to change the pulse width according to Ton/Toff specified in figure 1 and table 1. 2. Create and Execute Sequence 1) Square wave frequency and duty cycle: See...

How to Calculate Input Current for PCR-LE/MA Series

How to Calculate Input Current for PCR-LE/MA Series Before installing PCR-LE or MA Series, you may want to know how much current should be supplied from the distribution board. The best way is to calculate the current consumption (= input current) of your PCR-LE or MA Series. Here are the examples how to calculate the input current based on your output requirement (your output voltage and curre...

Parallel Operation with Different Power Supply Models

Parallel Operation with Different Power Supply Models The same model of Kikusui DC power supplies can be connected in parallel. By connecting the signal cables, one unit is set as the master unit and it can control the other units. This operation is called as ‘master-slave parallel operation’. Master-slave parallel operation is not available when connecting the different power supply models....

CC-CV Charging System without Series Diode

CC-CV Charging System without Series Diode To charge batteries, it is recommended that you connect a diode in series at an output of DC power supply (See Figure 1). With a diode, constant current (CC) can be properly supplied; however constant voltage (CV) may be unstable if using remote sensing at battery terminals. Without a diode, a high current can flow between a battery and power supply whe...

How do I pick the right spectrum analyser for my application?

Introduction The SIGLENT SSA3000X, SSA3000X Plus and SVA1000X products are based on a similar swept superheterodyne spectrum analyser platform and have very similar starting prices. There are quite a few similarities, but also a few differences that could affect the end results for particular applications. The table below compares the major specifications and the comparable options as they p...

Programming Example: SSA/SVA analyser screen image capture using Python over LAN

Here is a brief code example written in Python 3.4 that uses a socket to pull a display image (screenshot) from a SIGLENT SSA/SVA analyser via LAN and save it to the local drive of the controlling computer. NOTE: This program saves the picture/display image file in the same directory that the .py file is being run from. It will overwrite any existing file that has the same name. Download P...

Build FM NRSC masks for SIGLENT SSA3000X/SVA1000Xs using a Python script

Many broadcast applications require monitoring a transmitter and observing the output amplitude vs. frequency. For FM radio applications, a common mask is defined by the National Radio Systems Committee (NRSC) and is commonly referred to as the FM NRSC mask. A very helpful SIGLENT owner, Dan from Alabama Broadcast Services, LLC, built an FM NRSC Mask tool using our original AM NRSC mask pytho...

Programming Example: Return Peak Table Data with an SSA3000X Spectrum Analyser

The SIGLENT SSA3000X series of spectrum analysers have an on-screen peak detection that can be used to easily show the peak values in a Configure the instrument span, RBW, and amplitude to capture the signals of interest Send “:CALC:MARK:PEAK:TABL ON” Send “:CALC:PEAK:TABL? “ to return the peak table data Here, we show the displayed peak table and the data return using a VI...
