Control
PPSS - The especially developed Precision Power Sampling System is a Windows based software and controls the PPCS.
The software is able to control the device under calibration (e.g. C12, K2005, K2006, KOM100.1, KOM200.3, COM1000, COM1003, COM3000, COM3003, COM303-3, RMM3000, EPZ303, ILM03, LMG95, JEMIC-devices, Agilent 53131A) and calculate the error and measurement uncertainty (standard deviation). The result will be stored in the pc.
The inherent errors of the individual components determined during the re-calibration can be used for fault compensation in the operating program
The measuring principle is based on synthesized AC voltage and current generation using single sampling voltmeter for synchronization and computerized evaluation by means of discrete Fourier transform (DFT). PC software communicates with the frequency generator (FG115) which consists a dual voltage programmable amplifier. Signals pass on to voltage and current amplifiers (based on linear amplifier technology) through antialiasing filter FE101. The feedback measurement of the voltage output is performed via inductive divider (SVT480-120); current output is measured by precision current transformer (SCT100-120) and high precision resistor (HPR10). Both values are detected by FG115 for corrective action.
Values measured by the device under test are read out via interface. The user software compares the generated value and the values received from the device under test and shows the errors. Further traceability to the SI units "DC voltage" and "DC resistance" are achieved by using RMS voltmeter and AC precision resistor with small and known frequency responses. The use of single clock signal for generation and measurement synchronization ensures the great reduction in measurement uncertainty. This clock signal f clock is taken from the sampling voltmeter.
These measures lead to a significant reduction of
