PM6000 IEC Harmonics and Flicker Software
Version :Version: 1.24.12
Release Date: April 2012
Voltech offers complete solutions for full or pre-compliance testing to the current
IEC/EN standards
61000-3-2 (harmonics)
and
61000-3-3 (flicker). The powerful
PM6000 power analyzer
easily meets the requirements of latest version of
IEC61000-4-7(harmonic
measurement instrumentation) including the requirements for
inter-harmonic grouping and a 200ms measuring window.
The
PM6000 also implements
the requirements for a reference instrument by using a discrete fourier transform
(DFT) as opposed to a fast fourier transform (FFT), providing reliable, error-free
harmonic measurements in all conditions.
The easy-to-use software package provides design and EMC engineers with a comprehensive
suite of measurements and reporting functions. These will help to comply with the
mandatory requirements for products destined for the markets of Europe and many
other countries in the world. Voltech harmonics and flicker analyzers are used by
most of the leading EMC test houses in the world for full compliance testing, and
by the major suppliers of electrical and electronic products in their own test laboratories

PMStudio – Power Analysis Software
Version : 1.0.6.0
Release Date: April, 2012
The PMStudio Power and Efficiency software from Voltech greatly simplifies the design
and test of all electrical products including inverters and drivers for LED lighting.
It seamlessly integrates multiple
PM1000+ Power analyzer into one, providing stable
and accurate measurements of power quantities including power loss and efficiency
by making simultaneous input and output measurements. The software displays waveforms
and harmonic bargraphs as well as numeric data. A snapshot feature allows the data
to be saved to a spreadsheet compatible (csv) file. As you would expect the set-up
of the analyser is clear and straightforward and wizards are provided. The software
may be used for general purpose measurements using the Voltech PM1000+ power analyzer
as well as simultaneous input and output measurements.
Ideal for measurements on:
- All single-phase AC products.
- Inverters, Power Supplies and LED drivers
- Three-phase products using multiple analyzers.
- Wizard driven applications
- Waveforms
- Harmonic bargraphs
- Saves data to a spreadsheet (CSV) file

PM1000 IEC Harmonics and Flicker Software
Version : 1.2.3
Release Date: April, 2012
The Harmonics and Flicker measurement software for the Voltech
PM1000+ Power analyzer is a revolution in the way
these measurements will be made. For the first time engineers designing and testing
electrical products will have a compact, benchtop solution that will enable them
to test their product at every stage of development. This will give engineers a
high degree of confidence before they ultimately submit their product for full compliance
testing. Testing with the PM1000+ will help highlight potential problems, significantly
reducing time-to-market and minimizing expensive EMC lab re-test.
This proprietary PC software for your PM1000+ power analyzer will process and present
all your results. The software configures the instrument automatically and provides
detailed diagnostic results similar to those from an EMC lab, showing results against
the limits of IEC61000-3-2 and IEC61000-3-3. The measurements are right up to-date
with the standards. Including the measurement of inter-harmonic groups and flicker.
Such measurements will help identify problems during the early stages of a development,
instead of at the final EMC certification.

Version : 2.0
Release Date: November, 2008
The Voltech PM1000+ total measurement solution for compliance with the IEC62301
global standard for standby power.
Measuring standby power is challenging because general purpose power meters designed
to measure 1000s of watts (kW) do not have the range or resolution to measure less
than 1W accurately. Also for minimum average low power operation, the equipment
may draw power in bursts form the AC line, making it necessary to take average power
Measurements over a period of time.
Able to accurately measure consumption levels below 1W, the PM1000+ low power standby
software provides everything you’ll need for measuring standby power – to run the
tests and provide the accreditation ready test report- in one safe, easy-to-use
package.
