XView 280x Software Utility Simplifies ENERGY STAR® Testing

(PRLEAP.COM) XiTRON Technologies, Inc., an industry-leading provider of power testing solutions for nearly two decades, announced the release of new XView ENERGY STAR support software for the 280x family of power analyzers. This utility simplifies and automates data collection and reporting for measuring the power consumption of the various operational modes for the ENERGY STAR Program Requirement for Computers version 4.0. Version 4.0 Tier 1 goes into effect July 20, 2007. This requirement applies to desktop computers, desktop-derived servers, game consoles, notebook and tablet PCs and workstations. The XView software follows the exact testing procedure as outlined in Appendix A of the Program Requirement.

While all XiTRON precision test equipment is designed to be used in a completely standalone
manner, XView software enhances instrument configuration, data collection, viewing and reporting. The 2801 and 2802 Power Analyzers are ideal for ENERGY STAR testing whether testing low standby power levels or for highly accurate efficiency levels. These analyzers meet the ENERGY STAR and IEC 62301 Ed 1.0 requirements by a margin that is typically 10:1 or more. The 280x power analyzers also meet the requirements of the California Energy Commission, the Climate Savers Computer Initiative, The Australia Greenhouse Office, the EU Code of Conduct for Power Supplies, 80Plus, and many other international testing requirements.

XView tools are designed for data viewing or data collection where results can be recorded in an Excel-compatible file for post-processing, insertion into reports or for archiving. Other XView software tools and drivers are designed for viewing multiple measurements on a single screen, creating automated test sequences, or configuring instruments. This new software can be downloaded free of charge from the XiTRON web site at http://www.xitrontech/support.html.
