La serie compacta iX representa una nueva generacion de fuentes de AC/DC que se encaminan a las crecientes demandas de equipo de prueba que hace funciones adicionales a un costo menor. Esta serie combina una fuente flexible de AC/DC con un analizador de potencia de alto desempeño, la serie compacta iX es capaz de manejar aplicaciones complejas que tradicionalmente requieren multiples sistemas.

La aproximacion integrada de la serie iX evita el cableado comun en sistemas de prueba. Todas las conexiones se hacen internamente, y la necesidad de multimetros digitales, analizadores de armonicos de potencia y shunts de corriente, o pinzas de corriente es eliminada. Todo esta integrado.

Muchos componentes de la serie compacta iX son compartidas de la fuente de AC/DC y el analizador de potencia, el costo total del sistema integrado es menor al costo de un sistema con multiples unidades.

Easy To Use Local Controls
Both the iX Series II and i Series II are microprocessor controlled and can be operated from an easy to use front panel keypad. Functions are grouped logically and are directly accessible from the keypad. This eliminates the need to search through various levels of menus and/or soft keys. A large analog control knob can be used to quickly slew output parameters. This knob is controlled by a dynamic rate change algorithm that combines the benefits of precise control over small parameter changes with quick sweeps through the entire range.

Applications
With precise output regulation and accuracy, the iX Series II AC and DC sources address many application areas for AC and DC power testing. The iX also provides a high load current capability, multi or single phase output modes, and built-in power analyzer measurements. Additional features including line distortion simulation (LDS), arbitrary waveform generation, and programmable output impedance address requirements for product quality and regulatory compliance testing.

Product Evaluation and Test
Increasingly, manufacturers of electronic equipment and appliances are required to fully evaluate and test their products over a wide range of input line conditions. The built-in output transient generation and readback measurement capability offers the convenience of an easy to use and integrated test system.

Avionics
With an output frequency range to 1000 Hz, at up to 150 VRMS, the iX Series II is well suited for aerospace applications. Precise frequency control and accurate load regulation are key requirements in these applications. The standard IEEE-488 control interface and SCPI command language provide for easy integration into existing ATE systems. Since the iX Series II can eliminate the need for several additional pieces of test equipment and only occupies 7 inches of rack space (4U), saving both cost and space. Instrument drivers for popular programming environments such as National Instruments LabView, DO-160, ABD-0100, MIL-STD-704A-F, and Boeing 7E73B-0147 are available to speed up system integration.

Remote Control
Standard IEEE-488 and RS232C remote control interfaces allow programming of all instrument functions from an external computer. The popular SCPI command protocol is used for programming. Drivers for several popular instrumentation programming environments are available to facilitate systems integration of the i/iX Series II.

Instrument Control Software
Windows® Instrument Control Software is provided with the iX and i Series II. This software provides easy access to the power sources capabilities without the need to develop any custom code. The following functions are available through this GUI program:
