MX Series 120
DATA MODE Selects absolute or relative harmonics display for TABLE
and BAR view modes. In relative mode, all harmonics
are shown in a percentage of the fundamental, which is
normalized at 100 %. In absolute mode, the harmonic
amplitudes are shown in absolute volts or amperes.
This mode does not apply to the TRACE view display
mode and is ignored when this mode is selected.
SCALE Sets the horizontal time axis for the TRACE view display
mode. The field range is:
Series I: 4 ms to 104 ms in single-phase mode (MX30-
3Pi or MX45-3Pi only) or 12 ms to 312 ms in three
phase mode.
Series II:4 ms to 42 ms in single-phase mode (MX30-
3Pi or MX45-3Pi only) or 12 ms to 128 ms in three
phase mode.
This parameter is ignored when the TABLE or BAR view
display mode is selected.
TRIG MODE This field sets the trigger mode for the acquisition.
Available options are SINGLE (single shot acquisition)
or CONT (continuous acquisition). In SINGLE shot
mode, the acquisition is triggered once each time the
START field is selected and the ENTER key is pressed.
The selected trigger source is used to determine the
trigger point. Once the acquisition has been triggered,
the data are displayed and do not change until the next
acquisition is triggered. This mode is most appropriate
for single shot events such as startup currents.
In the CONT mode, acquisitions occur repeatedly, and
the data is updated on screen after each trigger occurs.
This provides a continuous update of the data and is
most appropriate for repetitive signals.
