Power Measurement Application Software

Yokogawa's Power Analyzer software manages numeric, waveform, and harmonic data measurements. It enables data logging and instrument configuration from your computer.

  • IS8000 comprehensive test and measurement software
  • Accelerate engineering workflow 
  • Integrate timing, control, and data collection from multiple instruments

WTViewerE software enables PC connectivity for Yokogawa power analyzers such as the WT5000, WT3000E/ WT3000, WT1800E/ WT1800 , WT500 and WT300E/WT300 through Ethernet, USB, GPIB or RS232. This connectivity allows users to easily control, monitor, collect, analyze, and save measurements remotely.

The WTViewerFreePlus software captures measured numeric values, harmonic values, and waveform data. Users can view and save data on a PC using USB, GPIB, RS-232, or Ethernet.

The WTViewerEfree is free software for power analyzer models that include WT series*. The software simplifies instrument configuration and gathering of measurements.

761922 Harmonic/Flicker Measurement Software

IEC61000-3-2, IEC61000-3-12, IEC61000-3-3, IEC61000-3-11 Harmonic and Flicker Compliance Software

Overview:

We have added a harmonics current/flicker measuring function to the WT3000 Precision Power Analyzer with world-leading accuracy of power measurement. We have also created PC software for harmonics current/flicker measurement. This PC software and the WT3000 comply with the IEC61000- 3-2 harmonics current standard and IEC61000-3-3 voltage fluctuation/flicker standard, thus enabling the electrical power, harmonics current and flicker of electrical equipment to be measured precisely with a single unit. This paper outlines the harmonics current standard and voltage change/flicker standard, along with the measurement principle and PC-based software of the WT3000.

—Director of Technology Laboratories, International Multi-Brand Manufacturer of Major Home Appliances

Overview:

When I started with my company almost 20 years ago, Yokogawa Test&Measurement instruments were already in use and the engineers had no intention of switching. In fact, we still routinely use some of the older instruments because, well, they just work! The equipment doesn't really become obsolete, and they support their instruments as long as is feasible, which ultimately saves us money. Even so, as things change in our industry Yokogawa adjusts to meet those changes. From our sales representative through technical support and more, I can count on the Yokogawa team to really listen and work with us to provide a specific solution for unique problems.

Webinars

    Overview:

    While DC power measurements are relatively straight forward, AC power measurements that include distorted waveforms, varying power factors, and multiple phases can add complexity to an otherwise simple measurement. During this webinar, we cover multiple fundamentals of power measurement.

    Key topics include:

    • Multi-phase measurements
    • Measurement techniques
    • Measurement applications
    • Real-world examples and more
    Overview:

    Although DC power measurements can be fairly straightforward, complexities with AC power measurements arise when dealing with distorted waveforms, fluctuating power factors, and multiple phases, which introduce intricacies that complicate an otherwise simple measurement process.

    This on-demand webinar provides an informative dive into the various fundamental aspects of power measurement and includes:

    • A look at multi-phase measurements and measurement techniques
    • A review of practical applications
    • Real-world examples
    Overview:

    You know the basics of electrical power measurements, have set up your dyno, and made key measurements – which is great. But as your motor and drive projects progress, the complexities of system drive requirements can change frequently. Control algorithms, networked communications, and mechanical systems form a complex web of interactions that need sorting. This 60-minute webinar explains how to get past ground-level measurements and delve into comprehensive solutions that leverage test and measurement instruments including power analyzers, high-speed data acquisition, and real-time software.

    Topics include:

    • How to avoid the “gotcha's” of inverter-based measurements
    • Computations for field-oriented control
    • The integration of CAN bus communications
    • Correlations in the frequency domain
    • Other advanced motor and drive topics

    The technical presentation includes an audience Q&A.
