Chapter 2
Functions and Operations
Introduction
This chapter provides a brief overview of the Cell Master functions and operations, provid-
ing the user with a starting point for making basic measurements. For more detailed infor-
mation, refer to the specific chapters for the measurements being made.
The Cell Master is designed specifically for field environments and applications requiring
mobility. As such, it is a lightweight, handheld, battery operated unit which can be easily
carried to any location, and is capable of up to 1.5 hours of continuous operation from a
field replaceable battery for extended time in the field. Built-in energy conservation fea-
tures allow battery life to be further extended. The Cell Master can also be powered by a
12Vdc external source. The external source can be either the Anritsu AC-DC Adapter (P/N
40-168) or 12Vdc Automotive Cigarette Lighter Adapter (P/N 806-141). Both items are
standard accessories.
