Ease of operation is a key feature of the Model 3090 Engine Exhaust
Particle Sizer (EEPS) spectrometer. After you are familiar with the
components identified in
Chapter 1
and have performed the setup steps in
Chapter 2
, you are ready to begin taking measurements.
This chapter presents the very basics of operation. Detailed instrument and
software operation instructions are in
Chapters 4
and
5
and can be
referenced as needed.
Turn the instrument on using the power switch at the back of the
instrument, above the power cable connection. Once the instrument is
turned on, the LCD display illuminates information as it appears in
Figure 3-1. The instrument requires 10 minutes to warm up. When the
warm
up is finished the status will change to “Normal”.
