OPERATIONAL FLOW 

 
This section describes basic operational procedures for measurement. 
 
(1)  Installing and connecting devices. 

Connect canners, etc. to the UCAM-65A and ground the GND terminal. 
For details, see “3. CONNECTING DEVICES AND PREPARING FOR MEASUREMENT.” 
 

(2) Connecting sensors 
   Connect sensors. For wiring, see “3-3 CONNECTING SENSORS.” 
 
(3)  Setting required measuring conditions 

Set required conditions for the measurement. Contents of basic settings are described in the following section. 
For details, see separate volume of “UCS-60A Instruction Manual” or “Control Command Version of the
