Ten Minute Tour

Introduction

Note

This manual contains information and warnings that must be followed to ensure safe operation and keep the instrument in safe condition.

Data Bucket operation and operational features can be understood in about ten minutes by completing the following procedure. Prior to staring the procedure, connect the instrument to a power source (see Chapter 1) and connect the supplied test leads to the front panel jacks (Channel 0). Some steps terminate when you press the Ckey instead of the Ekey because the completed step is beyond the scope of this quick tour. However, all steps contain a figure reference in brackets [] for additional information. For example, the first step of applying power refers to [Figure 2-2], which describes three other ways of applying power (Configuration-Reset, Display-Hold, and Temperature-Toggle). Therefore, this procedure may be used for a quick instrument familiarization or as a basis for instrument applications.

It is assumed that the instrument is being powered for the first time or a configuration- reset procedure cleared the instrument of configuration data. To apply a configuration- reset to the instrument, hold down the Ckey when turning on the power and keep holding until the meter “beeps” in acknowledgment.
