The CMC256plus is the first choice for applications requiring very high accuracy. This unit is not
only an excellent test set for protection devices of all kinds but also a universal calibration tool.
Its high precision allows the calibration of a wide range of measuring devices, including: elec-
tricity meters of class 0.2S, measuring transducers, power quality measurement devices and
phasor measurement units (PMU). Its unique accuracy and flexibility make the CMC256plus
ideal for protection and measurement equipment manufacturers for research and develop-
ment, production and type testing.

With the unique PermaSync functionality, analog and Sampled Values outputs stay
permanently in sync with the internal CMC time reference.
When a CMC is time-synchronized (IRIG-B, GPS, or PTP), the output quantities are
continuously synchronized to the external time source.
With CMIRIG-B it is also possible to transmit the internal PPS signal of the CMC to the
device under test (e.g. PMUs or IEDs stimulated with a synchronized Sampled Values
data stream).
