Sequoia Series 193
IEC413:MCURve:LEVel
This command will set the levels for the meister curve test. The class must be set prior to this
command. The IEC413:STATe must be in the off position and the user class must be selected to
accept the command. The command will accept a sequence of five data level parameters. The first
two have a range for 0 to 20. These two parameters set the test level in % for the frequency range
0.33 to 2 x f1 and 2 to 10 x f1 respectively. The last three parameters set the test levels for 10 to 20 x
f1and 20 to 40 x f1 in n/f. These values for n can be up to 10,000. All are expressed in % of U1. Note
that the IEC 61000-4-13 shows only two frequency ranges in the Meister curve table but the –413
option separates the third range in two ranges resulting in 5 instead of 4 parameters. Set both
parameter 3 and 4 to the same value to match the IEC standard table. (See table for reference).
Command Syntax IEC413:MCURve:LEVel<NRf>
Parameters 0 to 20, 0 to 10,000
Examples IEC413:MCURve:LEVel 10,5,4500,4500,5000
Query Syntax IEC413:MCURve:LEVel?
Returned Parameters <NR2>
IEC413:MCURve:DWELl
This command will set the dwell time in seconds for the meister curve test. The class must be selected
prior to this command. Query with min and max to find the range of dwell time. The default is 10
seconds. This value may not be enough to cover the 5 minutes required by the test for each range.
The user must coordinate the step size with the dwell time to generate the test period for each
frequency range.
Command Syntax IEC413:MCURve:DWELl <NRf+>
Parameters
Examples IEC413:MCURve:DWEL 20
Query Syntax IEC413:MCURve:DWEL?
Returned Parameters <NR1>
IEC413:MCURve:PAUSe
This command will set the pause time in seconds. This is the time between tests when RUN:ALL is
selected The class must be selected prior to this command. Query with min and max to find the range
of the dwell time. When the selected GROUP is MCURve, the pause should normally be set to 0 as
no pause is required for this test. If a pause value other than zero is set, the interharmonic levels during
the pause period will be zero.
