All in one - All you need for your tests
The compact NX5 is a standalone generator which includes everything necessary to perform fully compliant tests. With separate power mains supply inputs, it allows the utilization of different EUT supply voltages for maximum flexibility.
The NX5 can be operated manually from the intuitive front touch screen or remotely via its built-in Ethernet, USB or optical interface. Failure inputs allow control of an ongoing test sequence based on the state of the EUT. Monitoring outputs (BNC) offer easy signal verification and measurements. For enhanced safety requirements, features like interlock and a warning lamp are available.
NX5 is the first generator that recognizes the connected EUT power configuration. Only coupling selections to active lines are enabled. Non existing lines will be disabled from the menu settings. Pre-programmed routines with common Test Standards allow maximum user convenience. Quick Start Test routines where parameters can be changed during susceptibility level evaluation are also available.
