Front Panel Operation

Front panel operations include configuration of channels in preparation for scanning operations and simple multimeter operation by placing the instrument in the Monitor mode then using the front panel jacks and test leads (channel 0) for measurements. Front panel operations are discussed in Chapter 2.

Memory Card Operation

An adjunct to stand-alone front panel use are operations that use the memory card feature. The memory card is a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) device that plugs into a slot on the Data Bucket front panel. An internal battery maintains the integrity of the stored data. An empty 256K-byte card stores 8500 scans of 4 channels, 4500 scans of 10 channels, or 2500 scans of 20 channels. A typical display while scanning using the memory card is shown in Figure 1-2. The PC-compatible memory card can be used to store measurement files and configuration files. Data extraction from the card requires a
