Key Performance Features:

1.Modular Structure: Available in integrated or split configurations, featuring dedicated aluminum alloy meter mounting racks and fire-resistant composite work surfaces.

2.Advanced Signal Generation: Utilizes DDS technology with large-scale CPLD and RAM-embedded systems. It offers 36,000-phase adjustment points, 12-bit DAC waveform synthesis, and 16-bit DAC amplitude adjustment, ensuring high stability, fine resolution, and low distortion.

3.Dual Display System: A 7-inch color LCD provides extensive operational data, complemented by 6-digit LED displays at each meter position for showing basic error, clock frequency, and test status.

4.Efficient Connectivity: Features quick-connect aluminum terminal blocks for current circuits. Each position includes multi-path pulse input switching (4 pulse, 1 RS485, 1 multifunction) with protection against high-voltage misconnections.

5.Enhanced Diagnostics: Incorporates open-current circuit detection per table position (with optional automatic short-circuiting) and a dedicated费控 (fee control) testing module for local/remote control tests and relay verification.

6.High-Precision Timing: Equipped with the ZXT10 high-precision standard clock (3×10⁻⁸ stability) for clock error tests (ZXGT10 GPS synchronizer optional).

7.Parallel Communication: Independent RS485 ports per table position enable parallel communication (optional serial server supported).

8.Versatile Sampling: 3D-adjustable photoelectric samplers accommodate both mechanical (black mark) and electronic (flash) signals.

9.Reliable Power Amplification: PWM-modulated amplifiers offer high power output, low heat generation, and efficiency exceeding 90%, with comprehensive soft-start/shutdown and protection features (short-circuit/overload).

10.Optional Extensions: Includes a carrier wave switching box supporting 6 mainstream domestic power line carrier protocols.
