12.3.1
Start Measurement on PVPM / Button „Measure“
After starting the function the status line will display the message “Measurement processing– Please wait”.
The measurement will take up to 2 seconds. Directly after the measurement the measured values will be
transferred to the PC (process will be displayed in the status line) and the main window will display the values
and results. Now you can display the data in a diagram (chap. 12.4) or a list (chap. 12.5), export (chap. 12.1.3)
or save to file (chap. 12.1.2).
Important: When the measurement is initialized from the PC the data will
not
be stored in the PVPM!
If this message appears (see right), the cable to the
PVPM is not mounted properly or the function
“Transfer” on the PVPM is not activated.
