# HIOKI 3193-10 Power Analyzer Tools
GPIB/USB control tools for the HIOKI 3193-10 power analyzer, built for solar MPPT converter efficiency testing.
GPIB control tools for the HIOKI 3193-10 power analyzer, built for solar MPPT converter efficiency testing.
## Hardware Setup
- **HIOKI 3193-10** power analyzer with 9600 input units
- **GPIB-USB adapter**: [UsbGpib](https://github.com/xyphro/UsbGpib) — open-source USB-GPIB adapter
- **NI-VISA runtime** — provides the VISA layer (`visa32.dll`)
The UsbGpib adapter connects to the HIOKI's rear GPIB port and appears as a USB-TMC device. NI-VISA handles the communication.
## Requirements
- Python 3.12+
- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) package manager
- NI-VISA runtime (already installed if `visa32.dll` exists)
- HIOKI 3193-10 connected via USB
- UsbGpib adapter connected between PC and HIOKI 3193-10
## Install
```bash
cd C:\dev\hioki_3193-10
uv sync
```

One-command setup for MPPT efficiency testing:
- Ch5: 150V, 10A, DC coupling, SLOW (solar panel input)
- Ch6: 30V, 50A, DC coupling, SLOW (MPPT converter output)
- Ch5: V-auto, I-auto, DC coupling, SLOW (solar panel input)
- Ch6: V-auto, I-auto, DC coupling, SLOW (MPPT converter output)
- EFF1 = P6/P5 x 100%
- Display: Ch5 items on left, Ch6 items on right, with EFF1
Both voltage and current auto-range for best accuracy across the full sweep range.

## CSV Output Format
When using `-o` with `monitor` or `live`, the CSV includes:
- `timestamp` - Date and time of each reading
- Measurement values (e.g., `U5`, `I5`, `P5`, `EFF1`)
- `U<ch>_range` - Active voltage range per channel (e.g., 150, 300)
- `I<ch>_range` - Active current range per channel (e.g., 0.2, 5, 50)
Range columns help identify auto-range transitions and assess measurement accuracy.
