3 Recording of measurement data with ANALYST 3Q

• Install the ANALYST 3Q on the measuring site, select function “PQ” for power quality measurements

• Wait until the flicker filters are initialised (appr. 2 minutes)

• Set the required averaging time with the menu functions e.g. 10 minutes for measurements compliant with EN50160. - The interval can be set between 1 s and 20.000 seconds.

• Press “Record” to start the measurement

• In function PQ ANALYST 3Q will record up to 9600 intervals based on the preset averaging interval. The test can be aborted any time by pressing button “Record” again.

Measuring periods:

4 Reading of measured values

• Power on the ANALYST 3Q and make sure that it is in the HOLD mode (press Run/Hold once)

• Connect ANALYST 3Q to a serial port of your PC

• Run the WinA3Q software Select COM port ANALYST 3Q is connected to, the language and picture size for exporting screen shots

• Select menu File-Import:


• WinA3Q displays an overview of all available screenshots and the recording file:

• Menu File:

Open opens a previously stored file from the PC Save saves the actual diagram (right side of window) to a file in format .bmp Print prints actual diagram on system printer Printer setup opens a dialog for definition of printer settings Import import measured values from the ANALYST 3Q Export exports recorded data to a file in PQDIF-format with the extension .pqd Exit exits WinA3Q


• Menu Edit:

Copies the marked diagram to the Windows® clipboard for evaluation in other applications

• Menu settings:

Select the COM port for connection to ANALYST 3Q, the language of WinA3Q, the dimensions of the diagram which can be stored as bmp file.


• Menu Help

Provides information about PQDIF browser:

and actual version of WinA3Q:

Normally you will copy screen shots to the Windows® clipboard, save them as .bmp file and export recordings to PQDIF files, which can be evaluated perfectly in the freeware PQDIF browser TOP 2000.


5 Evaluation of measurement data with TOP2000

• Open TOP 2000 software

• Open a file you have exported with WinA3Q: TOP 2000 presents all available measurement rows. For a comprehensive evaluation select ALL and confirm with OK.


Now all data are on the stack of TOP 2000 and we can create all required presentations:

Select the parameter for creation of a level time diagram:


There are extensive functions: Tables:

Statistics, mathematical functions for calculations offer nearly unlimited evaluations. There are numerous settings to create the best type of presentation:


Some examples:
