NSG 2025
The NSG 2025 is a high end burst generator and the choice for users who need the maximum in pulse amplitude/frequency capabilities, flexibility, coupling network features and EUT connectivity. Based on a 'building­block' concept, NSG 2025 lets you select and combine pulse generator, coupling and EUT adapters to create a flexible, upgradeable EMC test work station to match your needs today and into the future. It covers all the widely used burst test specifications of IEC, EN, ANSI-IEEE as well as the known extended manufacturer's requirements.
Powerful Pulse Generation
The NSG 2025 offers the most extensive range of pulse voltages and burst frequencies available in a single instrument. Pulses can be coupled into the mains supply voltage or applied as a pure high voltage for data and signal line testing. Pre-programmed IEC standard tests are available at the touch of a button and pulse parameters are user configurable ­manually via front panel control or via PC­Windows software control. Not only does the NSG 2025 meet all the requirements of current world test standards with comfortable margins, it also anticipates likely future modifications with functions including a user-configurable burst frequency to 1MHz and extended selectable coupling modes.
One System for all Needs
The NSG 2025 'building block' design allows you to select the most appropriate modules for your application. Maximum voltage level, frequency range, current rating and coupling networks ­single or three-phase - are selectable, with local or PC-based software control, or both.
A wide range of test accessories is available for the NSG 2025 and, for complete integrated EMC test and measurement, the NSG 2025 is fully compatible with the Schaffner ProfLine system. Testing products for world-wide markets is easy with the NSG 2025. The supply voltage is switchable between 110/115V and 220/240V, and country­specific power-line sockets for the EUT are interchangeable so full compliance and volume production tests can be run on finished products and systems destined for different markets.
Built-in Safety
Every component in the NSG 2025 that carries a high voltage is designed to be inherently safe, with interlock features built into the hardware, ensuring automatic power-down in case of violation of any safety condition.
Manual Control
The standard, pre-programmed IEC tests can be called up, and used straight away or be modified and saved. All test parameters including pulse amplitude, duration, rise time and polarity as well as burst frequency, duration and phase angle can be set manually, for custom testing. Up to eight different custom tests can be saved and used again or modified at any time.
Software Control
The WIN 2025 Windows-based software module allows remote, real-time access to all the instrument functions and provides a whole range of additional test sequencing, programming and reporting capabilities. With a just few simple point­and-click operations, engineers can set test parameters directly, or can set up and save tests, drastically reducing set­up times for repeated tests and avoiding potential errors in re-keying information.
Any of the saved, pre-programmed or custom tests can easily be combined into a sequence for automatic execution. When the sequence is run, WIN 2025 executes each of the tests in turn, without any need for further operator intervention. This allows engineers to optimise test procedures and to manage laboratory test time efficiently for maximum throughput.
Professional Reporting
A sophisticated report generator provides automatic reporting of results in a professional format - with a facility for on-line addition of engineers' comments. These records provide an invaluable reference for design engineers throughout the verification process and meet legal requirements for proof of compliance testing.
