1.7 AutomaticCalculations
Optionally, The RD-30 offers a Built-in Computer for two types of applications. For laboratory
applications, the Built-in Computer can accept output pulses from a portable eld standard
and automatically calculate and display the error. For eld- testing applications, it can also
automatically calculate and display the error of the meter under test. In this eld-testing
application, various sensors (for disk rotation, infrared calibration pulses, KYZ pulses, etc.)
may be connected directly to the RD-30 and parameters for the test may be easily entered. At
the conclusion of the test, the results are automatically calculated and displayed on the LCD.
Optional sensors include the RD-DS Meter Disk Sensor, RD-1H Infrared Optical Pickup, RD-
1H/v Visible Optical Pickup, and RD-KYZ Pulse Input Adapter.
1.8 SoftwarePackages
The RD-30 also provides a serial communications port which allows direct connection to the
RS-232 serial port of a personal computer. In addition, Radian offers software packages to suit
various applications.
RR-PCSuite software allows for custom conguration of the RD-30 standard. This custom
conguration includes dening scrolling sequences, scrolling times, dening communication
ports including output pulse values, dening measurement displays, and other operation
parameters.
RR-MobileSuite software is used with the power analyzer functionality of the RD-30. RR-
MobileSuite provides the ability to view current and voltage waveforms in real time while
providing total harmonic distortion as well as analysis of harmonic order, phase and amplitude.
Waveforms may be saved for further analysis back at the meter laboratory.
