General Operation
3.1
Measured Value Display
The following items appear at the display panel:
•
The selected measuring function or standard
•
Measured values with abbreviations and units of measure
•
Setting parameters such as type of connection and measure-
ment type
•
Symbols for softkey operation
•
Wiring diagrams, notes regarding the test sequence
and error messages
Green progress bars appear in the header for single measure-
ments, and orange progress bars appear for test sequences.
If the upper range limit is exceeded, the upper limit value is dis-
played and is preceded by the “>” symbol (greater than), which
indicates measurement value overrun. Falling short of the lower
range limit is indicated by the “<” symbol (less than), e.g. for RINS.
Note
The depiction of LEDs in these operating instructions
may vary from the LEDs on the actual instrument due to
product improvements.
Measured Value Storage
3.2
Language, Keyboard Layout (culture parameter)
The desired user interface language, a country-specific keyboard
layout and a language for the test sequences (measuring
sequence parameters) can be selected in the
SETUP
switch setting
Note
If you change the keyboard layout setting, you’ll be
prompted to scan in certain barcodes. This is necessary
in order to assure that the barcode reader still works cor-
rectly
after
changing the language. If the barcode reader
isn’t currently available, you can subsequently set it to the
new keyboard layout via Setup (2/3) > External Devices >
Barcode Reader > Type Z751A.
3.3
Help Functions (HELP key)
Depending on the
rotary selector switch
position and the selected
measurement type, appropriate wiring diagrams are displayed.

HELP
key in order to query online help.
➭
Press the
ESC
key in order to exit online help.
3.4
Entering Alphanumeric Characters
Entry via the Keyboard
In addition to the softkey keyboard which can be accessed at the dis-
play, USB keyboards (with USB boot keyboard profile) can also be
used to enter texts such as offsets, ID numbers, type designations
and comments (see also section 5.3).
Reading in Barcodes
➭
Correct recognition of the barcode scanner by the test instru-
ment after connection to the USB port is indicated by the
icon in the header.
➭
Select the following parameter in order to configure the bar-
code scanner for initial start-up:
Setup (2/3) > External Device > Barcode Scanner > Type
Z751A
.
➭
Scan the barcode which then appears.
When the menu for alphanumeric entry via the softkey keyboard
is open at the display, any value read in by means of a barcode
scanner is directly accepted.
See the appendix in section 14.2 concerning available accessory
devices.
Note
We’re unable to offer any guarantees regarding the use of
scanning devices other than those listed in the appendix.
Reading in an RFID Code
➭
Correct recognition of the RFID scanner by the test instrument
after connection to the USB port is indicated by the
icon in
the header.
When held at a distance of about 3 cm directly in front of the mid-
dle of the RFID tag, the tag’s current content is read (e.g. the ID
code) and the SCAN LED on the reader blinks.
If the database view (MEM) is active (before or after a measure-
ment), the cursor automatically jumps to the DUT with the corre-
sponding ID code.
If the object isn’t found, a prompt appears asking if you would like
to create a new object.
3.5
Print-Outs – Reports
If you’ve connected a suitable printer (see list in appendix in sec-
tion 14.1) or USB flash drive via the USB master port, you can
read out a test report for each completed single measurement or
test sequence by pressing the
key.
The respective single measurement or test sequence must be
previously selected in the memory menu with the help of the scroll
keys.
Note
We’re unable to offer any guarantees regarding the use of
printers other than those listed in the appendix.
3.5.1
Multi-Print (multiple report print-out)
If, in the memory menu, you move the cursor to a test object for
which several tests have been conducted (individual measure-
ments or test sequences) and press the
key, a combined
test report with all test results for the respective test object is read
out.
3.5.2
Report Template for Reading Out Reports to a Thermal
Printer or an HTML File
A report can be read out showing the results of individual mea-
surements or test sequences stored to the internal database. A
report template is permanently stored to the test instrument for
this purpose. The designation of the standard in the report may
vary depending on which test sequence has been conducted.
The report template includes the following items:
•
ID number
•
Designation
•
Customer name
•
Location
•
Date
•
Time
•
Comment with 64 characters
•
Standard designation / sequence name / manual test
•
Measured values
•
Limit values
•
Evaluations
•
Test equipment (serial number)
Note
The display which appears isn’t a print preview and does
not reflect the actual appearance of the printout.
