Q. Instrument Configuration
The following configuration items are not necessary for first-time
use, but will customize the RFM 150 for special applications.
1. The instrument can be programmed to power up in any of the 10
measurement modes, or in the last mode used before powering
down (LAST). Select the desired power up mode as follows:
a. Press UTIL, then press F1 (CONFIG).
b. Press F2 (PWR UP/DN). Two editable fields are displayed,
with POWER UP MODE selected. The current setting for this
field is outlined. Turn the knob to the left or right until the
desired setting is outlined.
2. By default, the RFM 150 powers up with the auto power down
feature enabled. This powers down the instrument after 10
minutes of no instrument activity, to preserve battery life. (Auto
power down will not occur while a print job is active.)
Disable this feature as follows:
a. Press F2 (AUTO PWR DN). The cursor arrow along the left
side of the screen will move to show that the auto power
down field is selected for edit.
b. Turn the knob until DISABLE is outlined. Now the
instrument will stay on, even if there is no instrument activity.
c. Press ESC to exit the menu, one level at a time. The new
settings will be saved.
3. Probe loss is the amount by which the level measurement
displays will be offset. Power Units determines whether the level
measurements will be displayed in units of dBmV or dBuV. Set
the probe loss and power units as follows:
a. Press UTIL. The function key labels across the bottom of the
screen will indicate the utility menu actions, without changing
the measurement portion of the screen.
