Connection Comparison
PCS-1000I can simultaneously measure current and
voltage with 6 1/2 measurement resolution. The
below diagram shows the connection method of
simultaneous voltage and current measurement function
of PCS-1000. PCS-1000I adopts five sets of independent
shunt resistors to provide five current measurement

and Current Measurement
PCS-1000I can be used in adjusting and calibrating
instruments. Additionally, temperature variation will not
cause PCS-1000I to yield any measurement errors. PCS-
1000I can automatically select optimal measurement
level with the maximum resolution so as to replace
manual selection to save operational time.
PCS-1000I provides a BNC output, which can connect
with an oscilloscope to directly observe current
waveform variation without using a current probe.
General oscilloscopes do not have isolated channels
and their input and output are structured at a common
point, therefore, the output load will likely result in
