Initialization
The steps shown here will initialize the PMX40 meter and prepare it for normal operations. Step 3
should only be performed when you wish to set the meter operations to a known state. This is typically
done when you first power on the instrument or at the start of a new test.
STEP PROCEDURE
1.
If the main power is off, press the power switch located on the rear panel. See Figure 3-2. Press
the On/Standby key. See Figure 3-1. After a self-check, the instrument will execute the
application program. There will be some momentary dialogs indicating application initialization
and channel updating. After the last dialog the main screen will be on the display.
Caution
When selecting a sensor for an exercise or a measurement, be sure you know
the power range of the sensor. Operation beyond the specified upper power
limit may result in a permanent change of characteristics or burnout.
2.
Connect the sensor USB cable to the Channel 1 input on the front or rear of the instrument.
When the sensor is connected or disconnected, the instrument will momentarily show a channel
update dialog.
