Stand-Alone AC/DC Power Source. High Power,
Low Noise & Fast Transient Response

The California Instrsuments SmartWave™ (CSW) Series of AC power sources offers powerful waveform creation for ATE and power line disturbance simulation testing. Three separate arbitrary waveform generators enable the CSW to create independent, complex waveforms on all three phases simultaneously. The CSW is designed to meet waveform requirements including DC content (up to 312V), low distortion (THD 0.25% to 100 Hz), low noise and ripple, plus full compliance testing to many EMC and avionics standards.

The CSW 5550VA chassis can be paralleled up to eight units for up to 44,400VA – no calibration required! The CSW can be configured as Master/Aux or as an MB option. The CSW has Single and Three Phase output creating AC, DC and AC+DC output. Interfaces on the CSW include: RS232, USB, GPIB and LAN remote interfaces. (PFC input only) There have been many improvements made to the base SW protection circuits and there are no more rear panel fuses. The CSW features Auto-Parallel mode, which means it has "Plug and play" paralleling with just one cable. The new CSW also offers avionics stimulus software that is based on the California Instruments GUI with Avionic test routines! And, unlike other AC power sources, the CSW delivers full rated power to 45ºC.

Features and Benefits
Powerful Waveshape and Waveform Creation The CSW can easily create fractional or multicycledropouts, spikes, surges, sags and distorted waveforms from the front panel. To simulate these complex real-world power occurrences, the CSW comes with a library of 50 built-in waveshapes. Users can create and store an additional 50 waveshapes of their own design. Output voltages are created by adding amplitude, frequency and other parameters to the waveshapes. The user can also create over 50 custom front panel setups with all parameters included and store them for quick recall, making the CSW ideal for manual testing.

Sequence Programming
Complex sequence or event programming is easy with time or cycle based transient segments. The sequence library is made up of a total of 1000 segments. A sequence of up to 100 segments using up to 32 different waveshapes, arranged in any combination, can be run at any one time. The 32 waveshapes can be selected from the 50 factory supplied and 50 user created waveshapes. By setting the time or number of cycles for each segment, the user can create waveform sequences that allow automatic testing for most any standard.
