9.5.4  Front Panel Entry  
While it is possible to perform IEC 61000-4-13 testing from the front panel of 
the MX Series AC power source, it is recommended to use the provided Virtual 
Panels Windows program for report generation. This also provides a more 
convenient way to perform Class 1 and User class tests as test levels can be 
saved to disk. 
To perform a test from the keyboard, select the APPLICATIONS screen from the 
MENU 2 screen. The APPLICATIONS SETUP 1 screen will appear. Move to the 
MORE field to proceed to the APPLICATIONS SETUP 2 screen as shown in Figure 
9-20. (NOTE: On Series I MX models, the IEC 1000-4-13 option is located on

SETUP screen.)
