Ten Minute Tour
Introduction
Note
This manual contains information and warnings that must be followed to
ensure safe operation and keep the instrument in safe condition.
Data Bucket operation and operational features can be understood in about ten minutes
by completing the following procedure. Prior to staring the procedure, connect the
instrument to a power source (see Chapter 1) and connect the supplied test leads to the
front panel jacks (Channel 0). Some steps terminate when you press the
C
key instead
of the
E
key because the completed step is beyond the scope of this quick tour.
However, all steps contain a figure reference in brackets [] for additional information.
For example, the first step of applying power refers to [Figure 2-2], which describes
three other ways of applying power (Configuration-Reset, Display-Hold, and
Temperature-Toggle). Therefore, this procedure may be used for a quick instrument
familiarization or as a basis for instrument applications.
It is assumed that the instrument is being powered for the first time or a configuration-
reset procedure cleared the instrument of configuration data. To apply a configuration-
reset to the instrument, hold down the
C
key when turning on the power and keep
holding until the meter “beeps” in acknowledgment.
