DataView Software for Model 1060

• Configure all functions of the Megohmmeter Model 1060
• Print reports of all test results
• Select test voltage and run tests from your computer with a simple click and execute process
• Capture and display data in real time
• Retrieve data from the instrument’s memory:
• Over 1500 insulation resistance measurements
• Over 4000 resistance measurements
• Display DAR and PI ratios
• Plot graphs of manual and timed tests
• Include your analysis in the comments section with the report
• Store a library of setups for different applications

Reports may be displayed on your PC and printed. Each report includes all test results in a tabular and graphic format, as well as operator and test site information. Comments typed in at time of storage will also be included.

The DataView® Software provides a convenient way to configure and control Megohmmeter tests from your computer. Through the use of two clear and easy-to-use dialog boxes, all functions of the Model 1060 can be configured and tests can be initiated. Results can be displayed in real time and stored in your PC. Reports can be printed along with the operator’s comments and analysis.

A simple press of the download button from either the setup or run dialog boxes will show all test results stored in the Model 1060. Each test will be stored as its own file and may be given its own unique file name.

The AEMC Megohmmeter Model 1060 is an innovative family of professional 1000V Digital/Analog insulation testers. The 1060 is designed to facilitate testing quickly and accurately by incorporating automatic measurement features and user-friendly functions.

Measurements are displayed on a large dual-display LCD with bargraph for quick viewing of changes or trends. Resistance readings are displayed on the larger display, and a smaller display is used for test voltage at the sample, test run times (mm:ss), or alarm set points – all accessible at the press of a button. A family of visual indicators for safety and information also compliments the displays. A bright blue electroluminescent backlight makes for clear readings in dark areas.

The 1060 automatically provides the DAR and PI ratios directly on the display. User defined PI time intervals may also be programmed. The user may even select DAR or PI functions before the test, and the megohmmeter will stop at the appropriate time and display the results. Test run times from 1 second to 59 minutes are also directly programmable. The tested sample Capacitance is available at the end of each insulation resistance test.

For specific applications and operator or equipment safety, test voltages may be disabled to avoid any errors. An automatic test inhibitor prevents testing on live circuits above 25V. Discharge test voltage may be displayed at the completion of each test.

A memory feature in the 1060 permits storing, recalling and displaying of resistance values taken at user specified intervals during a test.

The Model 1060 has an RS-232 interface and a more extensive memory function, which permits the storage of results in files specific to the device under test. Additionally, it also has a built-in document function, which prints out a preformatted report on a serial or parallel printer. A standard software package (DataView®) enables the user to display graphs and results for complete documentation and reporting. The Model 1060 can also be programmed and run by a PC with this software. This enables tailored test programs, remote operation and storing of information directly into a PC.

The AEMC 1060 is built into a double insulated field case with a detachable accessory pouch.
