19. User’s Device Diagnosis

General Information

115

This chapter describes how a user can diagnose the performance of MTP200B. Regularly diagnosing the

device will allow the user to run MTP200B in optimal conditions.

19.1 General Information

This chapter describes how a user can inspect the general conditions of MTP200B for optimal operatio

n. The user can judge whether the device functions normally by performing the following:

To perform each measurement, the user needs to have basic understanding of MTP200B: functions, fr

ont panel, and GUI screens

19.1.1 Measurement Device

Measurement devices may be replaced with other devices that meet the legal requirements; the meas

urement steps can be changed depending on the measurement device.
