DIN EN 61083-2:2013-12

IEC 61083-1 describes the test requirements for digital recorders. The tests shall show that the performance of the software complies with the requirements of the relevant IEC standards. For this purpose, the standard contains the terms specifically related to digital processing. The standard specifies reference values and acceptance limits for the reference impulses. In addition it describes the requirements for the record of performance and defines the methods to assess the contribution of software to the measurement uncertainty. Compared to the previous edition DIN EN 61083-2 (VDE 0432-8), the following changes have been made: a) the test data generator software has been updated (the software is part of this standard); b) the number of reference impulse waveforms included in the test data generator has been significantly increased; c) all reference values have been recalculated according to new definitions in IEC 60060-1 and IEC 62475; d) methods for estimating the uncertainty of parameter evaluation have been introduced and are in line with the procedures introduced in IEC 60060-2. The responsible committee is DKE/K 124 "Hochspannungs- und Hochstrom-Prüftechnik" ("High voltage and current testing technology") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
