Circutor CVM-E3-MINI - OPERATION

4. OPERATION
The CVM-E3-MINI is a four-quadrant power analyzer (consumption and generation).
The device can operate according to three different measurement conventions:
 CIRCUTOR measurement convention.
 IEC measurement convention.
 IEEE measurement convention.
The measurement convention is configured in the setup menu, see “6.7. MEASUREMENT CONVENTION”.
 CIRCUTOR. measurement convention
