TRUE RMS/REALLY BROADBAND
The Model 2335 Sampling Watmeter is a precision, high accuracy, auto-ranging  instrument which simultaneously measures and displays true rms Voltage, true rms Current and true mean Power over a frequency range from dc to more than 1MHz. Full scale Current and Voltage inputs are typically measured within ±0.1% of the reading in amplitude to at least 500kHz. The corresponding Power is typically measured to within ±0.1% of the input Volt-Amperes to 250kHz and to within ±0.2% of the input Volt-Amperes to 500kHz for loads having any Power Factor.

LOW POWER FACTOR ACCURACY.
Five digits or resolution combined with excellent phase matching between the current and voltage channels make the Model 2335 Wattmeter an exceptionally good instrument for making low power factor measurements up to 1MHz.  This makes the instrument ideal for high frequency core loss measurements which are inherently low power factor.

MULTI-FUNCTION
In addition to the rms Voltage, rms Current, and mean square Power the Model 2335 Wattmeter also  measures simultaneously the peak Voltage, the peak Current and the Frequency and calculates the Volt-Ampere product, the Power Factor and the Harmonics of the current and the voltage. These functions may be displayed or may be read over the IEEE-488.2 or RS-232 interfaces.

UNPARALLELED HIGH FREQUENCY ACCURACY
The Model 2335 Wattmeter allows broadband and high accuracy measurements of both sinusoidal and highly distorted wave shapes. The Current, Voltage, Power, and Power Factor accuracies to 1MHz of the Model 2335 Wattmeter far exceed any other sampling wattmeter, or for that matter, with respect to Current or Voltage, almost all conventional multimeters.

Full scale Power ranges exist for loads with impedances from (0.6V/1.5A) = 0.4W to (600V/1.5mA) = 400kW.

WIDE MEASUREMENT RANGE
The Model 2335 Wattmeter has full scale Power ranges from 1.0000mWatt to 10000Watts. With external shunts or current to voltage transducers the upper range may be extended by a factor of ten or one hundred. Full scale Voltage from 2.000V to 2000V (usable to 1000V) and full scale Current ranges from 5.000mA to 5.000A (all rms values) cover a wide range of load impedances. Full scale Current and Voltage inputs may have crest factors up to three while smaller inputs may have even higher crest factors. Sinusoidal inputs with rms values of twice the nominal Full Scale value may be measured with no loss in accuracy.

POSSIBLE MEASUREMENT USES
Measurement of Ultrasonic Equipment of all types and power levels, Finished Transformers, Transformer Core Material, Switching Power Supplies, Fluorescent Lamp Ballasts of all types, Mercury Arc Lamp Circuits, Sodium Lamp Ballasts, Speed Controlled Motors of all types, Efficiency of any device with an electrical input and an electrical output, SCR Controlled Devices of all types, High Frequency and/or Distorted Currents from any source, Voltage Response of any device from DC to 1MHz, and the Characteristics of Electric Automobile Drives.

EASY TO CALIBRATE AND MAINTAIN
The Model 2335 Wattmeter is an all solid state instrument with optically isolated input channels.   DC coupling in both channels allows calibration and/or verification with high accuracy dc sources. Internal software calibration routines allow most recalibrations to be accomplished without opening the instrument and without screwdriver adjustments.

UNIQUE SAMPLING APPROACH / ISOLATED INPUTS
The Voltage and Current inputs of the Model 2335 Wattmeter are simultaneously sampled (with 16 bit resolution), converted to digital form, and transmitted via optical links to the main chassis. This allows both the Current and Voltage inputs to be completely isolated from each other and from the main chassis. The asynchronous sampling frequency is controlled by the system microprocessor in such a fashion that neither it nor any of its harmonics can come close to the measured input frequency or any of its harmonics. This precaution prevents "beats" with their accompanying jitter in the displayed values.

REMOTE  CONTROL
The Model 2335 Wattmeter is equipped with an IEEE-488.2 interface and an RS-232 interface which both incorporate all of the IEEE-488.2 Common Commands and Queries. Any function that can be entered via the front panel can be controlled via either interface. In addition, any or all of the functions which can be displayed, can be queried and sent simultaneously to the Controller over the either interface. The status (e.g. Current range, Voltage range, etc) of the instrument may also be queried and sent over either interface..

The bus address for the IEEE-488 interface is set from the front panel and is displayed both at turn-on and when the Local key is depressed. A Remote lamp indicates that the Model 2335 Wattmeter has been placed in its Remote state by the IEEE-488 Controller.

VOLT-AMPERES
Calculated as the product of the rms Current and the rms Voltage.  It has the same Full Scale ranges, resolution and uncertainty as POWER.

POWER FACTOR
Calculated as the ratio of Power to Volt-Amperes.  It has a range from 0 to ±1.0000 and a resolution of .0001 for Volt-Ampere products greater than 7.5% of Full Scale.   The resolution decreases as the Volt-Ampere product decreases.  The uncertainty is ±0.002 ±10 digits up to 250kHz, ±0.004 ±20 digits from 250kHz to 500kHz, and ±0.008 ±40 digits from 500kHz to 1000kHz

HARMONICS
The Harmonics are specified for Fundamental values between 20Hz and 20kHz and for periodic waveforms with rise times greater than 0.5% of the period. The resolution of the Fundamental and Harmonics of the voltage and the current is identical to the specified values for the corresponding rms voltage and current. The uncertainty of the Fundamental value is also the same as the rms value. The total Harmonic uncertainty is the same percentage as the total Fundamental uncertainty. For Fundamental values greater than 20kHz, the harmonic values are still calculated but the uncertainty may increase because of some jitter in the readings.
