Additional Features of the Measurement History

Click on any test to highlight it; right click to open the Context menu. Use the Shift or Ctrl keys to select multiple tests.

Load Measurement(s)...

Select one or more tests from the Measurement History tab, right click to highlight the context menu, select Load Measurement(s)... from the context menu to open the Results tab. Then click on the Selected Result down arrow to select one of the test results.

Run Extraction(s)...

Run Extraction(s)... allows you to open previous DPT measurement results in the Infiniium Offline PC-Based Oscilloscope Analysis Software (Version 06.50.xxxxx and all previous versions have been tested and work without problems. Do not use version 06.60.00403.) for evaluation. For example, you may want to expand the Turn-On / Turn-Off switching times on the oscilloscope display or change the IEC 10%/90% measurement points. The Offline software allows you to view, analyze, share, and document previously captured DPT measurements.

To run extractions, the Infiniium Oscilloscope Offline software must be running first; Run Extraction(s)... does not open or start the Infiniium Oscilloscope software. Only one instance of the Infiniium can run at a time.

Run Extraction(s)... requires the PD1000A Control Software PD1021A license AND the Keysight Infiniium Offline Base Software license and de-embedding license (infiniium_demoall license has everything required) is to be installed and licensed on the host machine. If the PD1021A license is not installed, Run Extraction(s)... is disabled.
Run Extraction(s)... is available only for Double-Pulse Tests run with PD1000A Control Software version 2023.324 (or later).

To use Run Extraction(s)...:

  1. Start the Infiniium Oscilloscope Offline software on the same PC as the PD1000A Control software.
  2. In Measurement History view, right click on the DPT test you want to analyze.
  3. Click on Run Extraction(s)....
  4. The PD1000A Control software reruns the analysis and transfers the measurement results to the Offline software.

A list of extractions you performed is available in the Results tab under Selected Extractions. You can do multiple extractions on one file; this list allows you to switch between the extractions.

It is beyond the scope of this manual to describe how to use the Infiniium Offline PC-Based Oscilloscope Analysis Software. Refer to the Offline Software help file.

Select Columns

This allows you to select and delete columns from the Measurement History.

Change Model ID

The Model ID is part of the Output Directory path (see “Global Settings in "Settings Drop-Down Menu”) for saving test measurement data. Changing the Model ID moves the measurement on the hard disk to correspond to a new measurement path.

Right click the test that you want to change the Model ID. The context menu opens with the model ID of the test you selected. Type in the new Model ID and click Change.... The control software creates a new folder with the new Model ID name.

Delete a Measurement from the Measurement History

To delete a test from the Measurement History, delete the measurement from the output folder. The next time the Measurement History is loaded (or click Reload Measurement History) the test does not appear in the Measurement History.
