How to start? Switch on the spectrometer, using the ON/OFF switch
located on the front side of the mobile electronics unit.
What happens after the
spectrometer is
switched on? • The spectrometer starts booting. Booting and initial-
izing take about 60 seconds.
• The SR LED (on the front side of the mobile electron-
ics unit) turns red.
• The spectrometer beeps once and starts a self test.
• The SR LED turns from continuous red to sporadic
flashing red if the self-test has been successful.
When is the spectrome-
ter ready-to-operate? As soon as the red ERR and SR LED (on the front side
of the mobile electronics unit) have turned off.
The HeNe reference laser needs about 20 minutes to
stabilize. The laser is ready, when the green LASER
LED stops flashing.
