Solartron 1260 - Key Features of the 1260 Analyzer

KEY
FEATURES
The 1260 Impedance/Gain-Phase Analyzer
uses powerful microprocessor-controlled
digital
and
analog techniques to provide
a
comprehensive
range of impedance
and
frequency
response
measuring facilities. These
include:
Single sine drive
and analysis of the
system or component under test over
the
frequency range
lOuHz to 32MHz.
Measurement integration,
and auto-integration,
of the analyzer input,
for
harmonic
and
noise
rejection.
Sweep
facility, for
any one of three measurement variables,
frequency, amplitude,
or
bias.
A
comprehensive
range of voltage
and current transfer characteristics,
each one
available from
the
original
base data, which
includes:
*
polar, log polar,
and Cartesian coordinates
of the voltage measurement result,
*
polar and
cartesian coordinates ofcurrent transfer
characteristics,
*
polar
and cartesian coordinates of impedance
and admittance,
»
inductance
or capacitance values, with
resistance, quality factor,
or
dissipation factor, for series or parallel
circuits.
Plotter output, of immediate or filed
data, to
a
digital plotter
on
the GPIB.
Limit check and
data
reduction
facility. Data
output can be confined to those
results that fail within, or outside,
user-defined values.
¥ Output
ports
selectable from: RS
423,
GPIB,
and the History File.
Result
scaling, that includes:
a
normalization
facility ..that separates the
desired
results
from confusing background
data; and, for impedance measurements,
a
nulling
facility that compensates
for stray capacitance and inductance.
Vernier facility, which allows
the drive
to be
adjusted whilst
measurements are
being made.
Learn program
facility,
which
allows
the instrument to learn a series of
control
settings
and commands.
Component sorting, manual or
automatic.
Self
test facility.
Local control from
a
simplified
key panel, or remote control from the
GPIB.
