Understanding the Panel

Figure 6 shows the primary Dashboards panel of the laboratory. This panel enables the user to manipulate the entire circuit, retrieve desired values, and observe plotted signals. Initially, all switches are turned off.

The panel is to be operated as follows.

At the top, there are control parameters and switches for the simulated circuit. The user can modify circuit parameter values and change switch statuses according to the laboratory task. These parameters and switches are summarized in Table 2.

Table 2: Circuit parameters and switches.

The simulation results are shown under two tabs named as “Steady-State” and “Transient”, as shown in Figures 7 and 8. The content of scopes of the aforementioned tabs are summarized in Tables 3 to 6.

Help Tab

In Figure 9, the Help tab of the laboratory is shown. In the help, a summary of the circuit parameters and the circuit configuration are presented.

Harmonic Analysis Using ScopeView

The steps to follow in order to perform harmonic spectrum analysis using this laboratory are presented in Figures 10 to 13. These steps are based on the assumption that the HYPERSIM laboratory model is already open and running.
