Configuring the Instrument for Operation

To prepare the equipment for front panel operations, perform the two following procedures:

∙Turning the Power On (Figure 2-2)

∙Selecting a Channel (Figure 2-3)

Turning the Power on

There are four power-on options. Figure 2-2 describes the control sequences for each option.

Each power-on sequence includes a four-second selftest routine that lights the front panel display. If the selftest fails, the instrument will beep and display ERROR plus an alphanumeric error code character (see Table 2-2). If there is more than one error, each is displayed in sequence at two-second intervals. Refer to the maintenance information in Chapter 7 for guidance on what to do when an error is detected.

Simple Power-On. Press the POWER switch. After selftest, the display clears and the instrument resumes whatever operation was in effect when power was last removed.

Configuration-Reset Power-On. Hold down the CANCL key and press the POWER switch. Hold the CANCL key until the instrument completes selftest and "beeps" in acknowledgement. All channel configuration data is erased and the operating parameters are set to default settings (see Table 2-1). The temperature scale and communication settings are not affected.
