4. Time. Here the correct time can be entered for time stamping readings
taken by the RM3000. The time is set by entering the correct time using the
keypad by entering hours, minutes and seconds separated by a period in the
format HH.MM.SS and then pressing ‘store’.
5. Date. Here the correct date can be entered for date stamping readings
taken by the RM3000. The date is set by entering the correct date using the
keypad by entering the day, month and year separated by a period in the
format DD.MM.YYYY (if the unit is in UK format) or MM.DD.YYYY (if
the unit is in US format).
6. Date format. Here the user can press ‘1’ for UK date format
(DD.MM.YYYY) or ‘2’ for US date format (MM.DD.YYYY).
7. Set defaults. This it to reset the unit to its default modes. To reset it is
necessary to type in the code ‘222’ and press store – this is to prevent
someone accidentally resetting the unit.
Default modes are as follows:
V Correction: 1.00 (resets to this when unit is switched off)
Wafer thickness: 0.0650cm (non-volatile)
Probe spacing: 0.100cm (non-volatile)
Set time: current set time (non-volatile)
Set date: current set date (non-volatile)
Date format: UK (non-volatile)
Getting Started – First use of the RM3000
When using small currents or measuring small voltages we recommend a 15
minutes warm up period for the unit. For currents above 1uA a 5 minute
period is recommended. For the largest currents / voltages no warm up
period is required.
Switch the unit on. The RM3000 will self calibrate and then zero before
putting itself in Standby. The unit is now ready to use with the default
resolution ‘High’.
