Figure 8-3: Normal state
The DO160 NORMAL 1 and NORMAL 2 screens have the following tests:
1 VOLT FREQ MIN
2 VOLT FREQ MAX
3 VOLT UNBALANCE
4 WAVEFORM DISTORTION
5 VOLT MODULATION
6 FREQ MODULATION
7 POWER INTERRUPT
8 VOLTAGE SURGE
9 FREQ TRANSIENT (group 1)
FREQ VARIATION (group 2 & 3)
The above tests can be selected by scrolling to the highlighted selection using the up and down
key and the ENTER key to start the selected test. For some of these tests, numeric data entry
