CD Handling Precautions
Follow these precautions to ens ure safe operation an d to obtain the full be nefits of the vario us functions.
• Always hold the disc by the edges, so as not to make fingerprints on the disc or scratch the printing.
• Never touch the recorded side of the disc. Do not place the disc directly on anything hard.
• Do not wet the disc with volatile alcohol or water, as there is a possibility of the label printing disappearing.
• To write on the disc label sur face, use a spirit -based felt pen. Do no t use a b all-point pen or hard tipped pen, because there is a danger of scratching the surface and corrupting the data. Do not use
adhesive labels.
• Do not expose the disc directly to the su n's rays, or keep it in conditions of high temperature or
humidity, as there is a danger of warping, with consequent loss of data.
• To remove dirt, dust, or fingerprints from the disc, wipe with a dry cloth, or use a CD cleaner.
Always wipe spherical from the inside to the outside, and do no wipe with circular movements.
Never use abrasives or solvent cleaners.
• Hioki shall not be held liab le for any proble ms with a computer sys tem that arises from the use of
this CD, or for any problem related to the purchase of a Hioki product.
Thank you for purchasing the HIOKI "Model 9624-50 PQA-HiV IEW PRO."
To obtain m
carefully, and keep it handy for future reference.
The 9624-50 PQA-HiVIEW PRO is a PC program for use with the Model
PW3198, 3196 and 3197 Power Quality Analyzers.

Loading Data
Measurement data recorded with the Hioki PW3198, 3196 or 3197 Power Quality Analyzer can be
loaded by the PQA-HiView Pro program.
However, it can load only binary format measurement data. Text and CSV format data cannot be
loaded.
To load measurement data:
PW3198
You can insert a SD Card with stored measurement data into a SD Card reader connected to the
computer, or transfer the measurement data over LAN to the computer, and then load it.
See: "Downloading Measurement Data from the Power Quality Analyzer (LAN Download Function)" (p. 111)
• It may take an extremely long time to directl y load large measurement data
files using the USB function. It is recommended to load such fi les after first
copying them to the computer.
• Do not disconnect the USB device while downloading data. Doing so may
cause the program to forcibly terminate.
3197
You can use the special-purpose application program bundled with the Hioki 3197 to download the
measurement data, and the load it.
See: The instructions (PDF) for the special-purpose application program on the CD-R supplied with the Hioki 3197
3196
You can insert a PC Card with stored measurement data into a PC Card reader connected to the
computer, or transfer the measurement data over LAN to the computer, and then load it.

Before Converting Harmonic Voltage Measurement Data (EN50160 Mode) to CSV Format (Hioki 3196 only)
For EN50160 mode measurements with the Hioki 3196, harmonic voltage (as opposed to inter-harmonic voltage) content is recorded as a percentage (of Uref) relative to the nominal voltage. This
harmonic voltage can be converted from percentage of the nominal voltage (% of Uref) to percentage of the fundamental waveform voltage (% of Ufnd) and saved in CSV format.The PW3198
records this data as a percentage of the fundamental waveform voltage (% of Ufnd).
Switch to EN50160 mode.
