RMO100G Getting started
6.3 Measuring with RMO100G
Single Test
Before a test can be started, both test current and memory position need to be defined using the
Single
menu. Once these parameters are defined, press
ENTER
to change to the
Ready
state.
The
Ready
state displays the test current and memory position defined. If one of these values has to be
changed, press
STOP
to return to the
Single
menu.
The flashing green LED indicates that RMO100G is now ready to start the test. Press the
START
button to run a test. At the start of the test, a cable connection check is done. In case of e.g. a
disconnection, an alarm is activated and the error message is shown on the display.
During the test, both the green and the red LEDs flash alternately. The display shows a graphical
representation of the output current that ramps from 0 A to the defined maximum value (here
200A
).
Once the current ramp reaches its maximum value, RMO100G measures the current through the test
object and the voltage at the test object for 1s, calculates the resistance from these values, and saves
the data at the present memory position.
Afterwards, RMO100G ramps down the output current from the max. value to 0 A.
When 0 A is reached, the test is finished and the green LED lights up.
Note:
To stop the test prematurely, press the
STOP
button at any time during the test. The
current will immediately drop to 0 A.
Continuous Test
Before a test could be started, test current, its duration and memory location must be defined using
Contin
menu. Press
ENTER
to change to the
Ready
state.
The
Ready
state displays selected test current (here
100A
), its duration (here
60
sec) and memory
location of the result (here
Memory: 020
). If one of these values has to be changed, press
STOP
button
to
return to the
Contin
menu.
The flashing green LED indicates that RMO100G is now ready to start the test. Press the
START
button to run a test.
