Restore Saved Parameter Values
You may want to restore saved parameter values, for example, if you changed the value
for a parameter, or several parameters, to observe their effect, but then decide you want
to use the initial values.
To restore saved values, display the Setup Measurements screen, press select to
"highlight" the Restore All field. The saved values are restored.
Display Screens
The display screens provide measurement information as summarized below. Figures 2-2
through 2-5 show each display screen and Table 2-2 describes each item on these
screens.
Main. Initially displays a start-up screen for approximately 30 seconds after you first
power on the unit. After a self-test and reference laser warm-up (WA-1600 only), the
screen is replaced with summary information on the current wavelength and power and
pertinent parameter values. For WA-1600s only, if the warm-up time is greater than 59
minutes, an exception occurs, which causes the wavelength to not be displayed, yet all
system functions are active. Typical warm-up time at room temperature (20
°
C) is less
than seven minutes
Wavelength. Displays wavelength information and two methods of calculating delta (
∆
)
for a comparative analysis. This screen shows the following numeric values: Current
wavelength, Start,
∆
(Current – Start), Maximum, Minimum,
∆
(Maximum – Minimum)
as well as the elapsed time and pertinent parameter values.
Power. Displays power information and two methods of calculating delta (
∆
) for a
comparative analysis. This screen shows the following numeric values: Current power,
Start,
∆
(Current – Start), Maximum, Minimum,
∆
(Maximum – Minimum) as well as the
elapsed time and pertinent parameter values.
