Front Panel Controls
The OMM-6810B is intuitively operated from the front panel keypad, indicator
LEDs and dual displays. The front panel will change form slightly depending upon
the measurement head attached to the instrument. A drawing of the front panel is
shown in Figure 2.1.
Key words pertaining to instrument functions are shown in bold type for easy
identification. Each function is described below.
General Functions
The POWER switch is used to supply AC Power to the 6810B. At power-up, the
instrument is configured to the same state that was present when the power was
last turned off. Immediately after power-up the personality and calibration data is
downloaded from the measurement head. The ZERO,
Δ
P,

and ZOOM
functions are always disabled at power-up.
Do not attach or remove optical measurement heads while power is applied to the
multimeter. Please turn the power switch when changing heads.
