Measurement and Evaluation Unit
Industrial class PC, Flash data storage 512MB (sufficient for several thousand measurements)
No mechanically moved parts such as fixed disks, exhaust or similar
Sampling rate max. 100kHz, resolution 12Bit
Measuring accuracy for the I-V-characteristic better 1%, for the peak performance ±5%
Four-wire-measurement leads avoids systematic errors in voltage measurement
Measuring period single measurement 0.02 - 2 seconds (100 pairs of measured values)
Irradiation reference sensor (Phox) with integrated Pt100/Pt1000 temperature sensor
Optional additional measurement of the back surface temperature of the module under test
Other commercially available irradiance reference sensors (i.e. ISET® sensor) can be used
Measuring Range:
Voltage DC: 25 / 50 / 100 / 250 V
Current DC: 2 / 5 / 10 / 40 A
Temperature: -40°C - +120°C with Pt1000
Irradiance: 0 - 1300 W/m2 (Standard-Sensor)
The measuring ranges can be combined among each other.
The measuring instrument automatically selects an optimal measuring range.
The device must be used only for the test of current limited dc sources (photovoltaic generators)
Display
Bright TFT touch display with LED backlight, resolution 480 x 272 pixels, RGB
Representation coloured text on black background, thus high contrast
Operation
Menu controlled by touch panel directly at the device.
Operation and analysis alternatively with MS-Windows® application, communication via USB
