Delta 2000/3000 PowerDB Lite User Manual
Introduction
PowerDB Lite is a free, but limited capability, version of the PowerDB
software tool that is designed specifically to control and/or extract data from
Megger instruments. The primary difference between PowerDB Lite and
PowerDB is that PowerDB is designed to work with all manufacturers’
equipment and has field and office synchronization capabilities. PowerDB
Lite will present your test data into a professional looking data form that can
be sent to a printer or .pdf file distiller such as PDF995.
PowerDB Lite allows you to use a sub-set of the standard PowerDB forms
that are appropriate for specific Megger instruments. PowerDB Lite detects
the instrument and enables the appropriate form(s). Data can be entered onscreen
or captured directly while using the test instrument. Completed data
forms can be saved as files to your computer.
