Differences between the 3390 and 3390-10

QHow do the functions of the 3390 and 3390-10 differ?

A

I’m unable to use USB communications with the LR8431.

QI purchased an LR8431, installed the Logger Utility, and connected the instrument to my computer with a USB cable, but the computer won’t recognize the LR8431.

Is HIOKI’s optional PC card the only one I can use?

QCan I use any company’s PC card in my HIOKI power meter or Memory HiCorder?

A

Difference between a Memory HiCorder’s maximum rated voltage to earth and its maximum input voltage

QIn the specifications for a Memory HiCorder input unit, a maximum rated voltage to earth as well as a maximum input voltage are listed. What is the difference between these two characteristics?

A

Measurement of the secondary side of an inverter

QWhat type of instrument should I use to measure an inverter’s current and voltage?

A

What is the filter function?

QWhen should the filter function provided by the 3282 and 3293-50 be used?

A

3281 peak hold function

QThe 3281 and 3282 also have a peak function. Is it possible to capture the crest value for a rush current as with the 3284 and 3285?

A

Measured values on my insulation resistance meter vary. What might be causing this?

Q

A

The digital insulation resistance meter I’m using displayed “OF.”

QWhat does this mean?

A

The polarity (+/-) was reversed when I made a measurement using the resistance range. Is the instrument broken?

QI have a question about an analog tester. The polarity (+/-) is reversed when performing measurements with the resistance range. Why is this? Wouldn’t this invite mistakes, for example when checking diode polarity?
