Configuration &

Parameters

The Start procedure checks that the unit is working correctly and initialises the various tasks
that are continuously executed during operation of the MC 75.2.

•

The "Measurement" task is responsible for the configuration, post-processing and dis-
play of measurements.

•

The "Transmission" task handles the various modes of simulation, pre-processing of set-
tings and the display.

•

Several tasks are dedicated to setting parameters and configuration management.

•

The "maintenance" task is responsible for calibration and initialisation of the unit.

A real time operating system coordinates the various tasks and manages the keyboard and
USB peripherals.
