To explain the use of SPECTRAN, we will measure its own power supply.
During this procedure, you will get to know the 3 different operation modes
of SPECTRAN, as well as the important HOLD feature and the panning
approach:
It is really very simple, just follow the following instruction step by step:
How to prepare SPECTRAN for measurement:
Remove the protective film from the display. Should
you not yet have charged the integrated battery, you
can also operate SPECTRAN with the included
power supply (
further information on page 51
).
Next, press the on/off switch located in the
lower left corner.
SPECTRAN is now switched on and will perform a
brief calibration procedure.
For easier orientation, we will now briefly show the most important aspects of the
SPECTRAN display:
Now we’re ready for making measurements of SPECTRAN’s own power supp-
ly. First, plug the power supply into a power socket. Now, you can measure the
magnetic field of the power supply as follows:
