The need to verify the capability and reliability of power quality meters/analyzers requires appropriate calibration equipment. The PQ Signal Generator software module turns a CMC test set – ideally a CMC 256plus with its high-precision voltage and current outputs – into a calibration tool that generates all kinds of power quality phenomena according to IEC 61000-4-30 (-7, -15):

PQ Signal Generator allows the creation of comprehensive test sequences. Test steps can be grouped and run repeatedly in a definable number of loops. If the test object provides a binary output, it can be used for automatic assessment of the test results. If no alarm contact is available, manual assessment can be performed.
