OPTION DESCRIPTIONS
The 60Hz measurement data is also available on the 50/60Hz measurement screen of the front
panel LCD display. The format is as follows:
FRQ: 60.1324HZ PHASE: 180.2
o
ERROR: +1.357
1>OFFSET:+1.206S<4>OFF<5>ON<6>60HZ/ ON
If the 50/60Hz option is not enabled, ON will be replaced by OFF. When the unit is first turned
on, it will come up in the OFF (default) mode. If the 50/60Hz option is turned on prior to the
unit achieving LOCK, ON will be replaced by ERR and measurement data will not be available.
When measuring the 60Hz with a time period of 16.66 milliseconds, if a measurement occurs
outside a one millisecond window of that time period (such as a noise spike), the measurement is
ignored, and an error is counted. If 1,000 successive errors are read, the message ERR appears,
and the 60Hz measurement option is turned OFF.
