ATE-DMG 020613

2-9/(2-10 Blank)

FIGURE 2-6.  REQUIRED STEPS FOR ATE “FAST MODE” CONVERSION

2.8

OPERATING CONFIGURATION

The operating configuration can be determined by pressing 

MENU

 on the front panel keypad six

times (with the unit in   command entry status). The LCD top line reads 

ATE-VVAA

 (VV is

Vmax, AA is Imax, e.g., for the ATE 100-10DMG, top line reads 10010). The LCD bottom line
displays a 6-digit number (factory calibration date) followed by a 3-digit number, followed by the
firmware version number.

NOTE: NUMBERS IN CIRCLES REFER TO STEPS OF PAR. 2.7.4.
