Information

GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Model 6000 Phase Meter is a precision instrument which measures the phase angle difference between two similar voltage waveforms with the same frequency in the range from 5Hz to 500kHz with a typical accuracy of 0.02° and with a resolution of 0.01°. The voltage waveforms may have independent amplitudes anywhere in the range from lOmV to 350V RMS which the Meter accommodates automatically by autoranging. A peak to peak voltage waveform less than 56mV or greater than 882V is indicated respectively by the illumination of an UNDERRANGE or OVERRANGE LED lamp. The phase angle is displayed in Degrees on a 5 Digit High Efficiency LED display over the span from -180° to +360° which is covered by two ranges of 0° to 360° and -180° to +180°. The Model 6000 autoranges from one range to the other whenever the phase angle approaches within 10° of the range limit. Phase angle discontinuities of ±360° are only apparent when autoranging occurs from the high end of the 0° to 360° range and from the low end of the -180° to +180° range. A RANGE toggle key on the front panel of the Meter permits manual transitions from one range to the other. The current range is always indicated by the illumination of an appropriate LED lamp. The RANGE toggle permits operation to be kept on the 0° to 360° range when the phase difference between two pulse waveforms is being measured. An OFFSET toggle key is also located on the front panel. An LED lamp indicates the active or ON state of the OFFSET. Pressing this key once activates the OFFSET and causes the current phase angle indication to be subtracted from all subsequent phase angle indications with the result that a new "Phase Origin" is established. A new range of ±180° about this origin is also established. Within this range no ±360° discontinuities occur even if internal autoranging takes place. At ±180° discontinuities do however occur. Pressing the key a second time returns the Meter to its normal operating mode. The Offset toggle may be used to refine the calibration of the Phase Meter at higher frequencies. If the same signal is placed into both the SIGNAL and the REFERENCE INputs and the OFFSET is activated, small constant phase errors are removed. The Model 6000 also allows the user to deactivate the internal low pass filtering to obtain higher accuracy when measuring the phase angle between two square waves of unequal amplitudes. The filtering is toggled by holding down the LOCAL key and then pressing the RANGE key. When the filtering is removed
