Adjustable current source for sine / AC and square wave voltages.
AC withstand test
The AC withstand test is a high-voltage test using alternating current (AC) to verify the voltage withstand capability of electrical components, assemblies, and devices.
Accumulator
An Accumulator is the electrical energy source and energy storage device. It is mainly used for mobile applications.
ACIR (Alternating Current Internal Resistance)
ACIR stands for “Alternating Current Internal Resistance” or "internal alternating current resistance". ACIR is a measure of the resistance that a battery offers to the flow of alternating current. See also: DCIR.
Active Power
Die Wirkleistung ist der Anteil der elektrischen Leistung, der tatsächlich in nutzbare Energie wie Wärme oder mechanische Arbeit umgewandelt wird. Sie beschreibt die effektive Leistung eines Systems und ist maßgeblich für die Auslegung und Bewertung elektrischer Verbraucher.
Active Resistance
The active resistance is the portion of electrical resistance that converts energy continuously into heat or usable work.It causes no phase shift between current and voltage and determines the amount of active power available in a system.
Adjustment - Calibration
Adjustment - also known as calibration - is a corrective intervention to permanently set the measured value of a measuring device or measuring setup to the value of a reference.
Alternating current
Alternating current is Electric current whose polarity changes evenly.
Alternating voltage
Alternating voltage involves electrical voltage whose polarity changes evenly.
Anti-Aliasing Filters
The anti-aliasing filter reduces or removes high-frequency signals before digitization or measurement.
Apparent Power
The Apparent Power (S) describes the total electrical power circulating in an AC system – including the portions that are not usable.Apparent Power is measured in Voltampere (VA).
Arbitrary function generator
Function generator that can generate sine, square and triangular waveforms.
ATE (Automatic Test Equipment)
ATM involves metrological systems or devices used for testing in development and production.
ATEasy (Automated Test Equipment)
ATEasy is the product name of a software solution developed by Marvin Test Solutions.It is an integrated platform primarily used in automated test systems (ATE – Automated Test Equipment).
Audio Generator (Frequency Generator)
An Audio generator is a function generator (frequency generator) which is mainly used in the range between 20 Hz and 20 kHz (frequency spectrum of human hearing).
AWES (Arbitrary Waveform Editing Software)
AWES (Arbitrary Waveform Editing Software) is a PC software for creating and editing arbitrary signals for arbitrary/function generators.The software simplifies the generation, modification, and import of waveforms (e.g., via CSV) and is used, among other things, with arbitrary and multi-channel function generators from GW Instek—ideal for fast signal preparation in test and measurement.
