2620A, 2625A

Users Manual

Getting Started

Provides a quick introduction to instrument setup and operation.

Chapter 1 Introduction

Describes standard features, options, and accessories for the Fluke Hydra Series II Data Acquisition Unit and Hydra Series II Data Logger. Also, this chapter discusses the organization and intended uses of this manual.

Chapter 2 Overview

Brings the instrument from its shipping container to operating status. This chapter provides brief descriptions and a quick walk-through of instrument operation. Read this chapter to gain a feel for instrument use. But please don’t avoid reading Chapter 3 (for in-depth operation from the front panel) and Chapter 4 (for computer interface operation); the instrument is far more powerful than suggested in Chapter 2.

Chapter 3 Operating the Instrument from the Front Panel

Describes all capabilities available through front panel control. The features introduced in Chapter 2 are described more fully, including descriptions for setting up and using each type of measurement input (dc volts, thermocouple, etc.) and digital input (Totalizer, etc.) or output (such as alarms). Other features of the Hydra Series II Data Acquisition Unit and the Hydra Series II Data Logger are also more fully explained.

Chapter 4 Using the Computer Interface

Describes connecting the instrument to a terminal or host computer and operating the instrument over the RS-232 Interface. For the Hydra Series II Data Acquisition Unit only, use of the optional IEEE-488 Interface is also described here. This chapter is detailed and requires a good knowledge of instrument operation via the front panel (see Sections 2 and 3).

Chapter 5 Additional Considerations

Provides detailed operating information not provided elsewhere. This chapter also describes instrument operation for the advanced user. This chapter is written with the assumption that you have full knowledge of instrument operation from the front panel (Chapter 3).

Chapter 6 Maintenance

Provides performance tests (suitable as acceptance testing procedures) and routine maintenance information. Refer to this chapter for explanation of error codes encountered during instrument operation. Also, this chapter provides parts ordering information for such commonly used items as fuses, accessories, and publications.

Refer to the "Hydra Series II Service Manual" (P/N 688868) for complete service, repair, and parts ordering information.
