Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Introduction to Instrument
SME1300 series single-phase digital power analyzer (digital power meter) uses high-speed 32-
bit processor and professional DSP digital signal processor. With fast speed, wide frequency
bandwidth, complete function, compact structure, stable test, simple operation and good
human-machine interface, it is a new generation of digital power analyzer and the main
parameters that can be measured are: voltage and current RMS, voltage and current AC
component, voltage and current DC component, active power, reactive power, apparent power,
energy timing, power factor, frequency, voltage and current peak factor, voltage and current
peak-to-peak value. Depending on the instrument model, some models do not have harmonic
analysis function.
The contents of this manual cover the SME1311/SME1312/SME1321/SME1331 four
instruments (the common points of the four instruments indicated by SME13XX in the below
introduction and the specific models are marked when having different points), all of which
belong to the single-phase power analyzer. The advantages of the input bandwidth (45~400Hz)
cover most of the power supply on the market. In addition to the basic electrical parameter
measurements, the four instruments also provide a comparatively intuitive input waveform
display as well as the HANDLER interface, RS232C/ RS485 interface and USBTMC,
USBCDC interface, supplying conditions for the instrument to be used for automatic sorting
system and computer remote operation; the difference between different models is mainly in
the current measurement range and whether it has harmonic analysis function. The maximum
test current is 40A with stable accuracy. The specific difference can be seen in the following
instrument model comparison table.
The main features of the instrument:
• 4.3 inch LCD display;
• Soft power switch;
• Chinese and English optional operation interface;
• Input frequency range (45~400Hz);
• Range automatic / manual is controllable;
• The maximum test current is 40A (depending on the model), and the minimum current
can be up to 1uA (depending on the model);
• Controllable synchronous trigger source;
• Provide 5kHz line filter switch;
• Flexible energy integration control;
• Parameter comparison and Handle controllable output function;
• Parameter file selection function;
• Harmonic analysis function (related to the specific model);
• Waveform display function;
• Support U disk file storage, upgrade the instrument program through U disk;
• Serial interface: RS-232C/RS485 and USB virtual serial port provide great convenience
for serial communication between instruments and peripherals. Peripherals can set
various functions and parameters of the instrument through this interface, which can
basically replace the function of the panel keyboard; the interface commands are
uniformly written using the internationally-used programmable instrument standard
command (SCPI) format, which greatly facilitates user programming.
