3 Startup and Operation, General Notes and Main Menu

3.1 Starting and Initializing

After switching on the MLT analyzer or analyzer module (in a platform or part of a NGA network), the initialization procedure will be performed. A self control of the analyzer modules or the analyzer is running. You can see a sequence of several displays. They show the status of initialization, revision notes of the MLT software and the tag:

NGA-2000 Control Module/Version 3.2.1

F5

If you press the F1 key during the initializing, you will reset the LCD brightness and contrast to factory settings (see also section 7). Pressing the F3 key will abort the network initializing. Then you will have no connection to any analyzer module. Only the menus of the platform will be available.

At the end of the initializing procedure you can see the single component display of channel one (see illustration on next page). It is the origin to all the other channels, menus and submenus.

The instructions of the basic controls (chapter four) are all beginning with the single component display. The actual display might differ from the shown one because the customer can configure it according to his requirements (see section 5.1.8 p. 5-49and section 7).
