7.2
Setting Time & Date
To set time and date, from the Main menu depress the
F2 (FNC)
key, followed again by
the
F2 (CLK)
key.
Use the
F3
horizontal arrow key to highlight
the parameter to be modified.
Now use the
F1 (UP )
or
F2 (DWN)
keys to
set the correct value; a momentarily action
on the keys will increase or decrease the
numerical value of one step: depress the
keys longer for faster selection.
Depress the
F2
(
ENT
) key to confirm the selection.

REPRODUCIBILITY OF THE TEST
Any repetitive test, in particular if carried out on experimental animals, challenges the ex-
perimenter with a number of variables she/he tries to minimize, to obtain results as con-
sistent as possible.
In our case, it is evident that:
1)
the positioning of the I.R. window in relation to the aimed stimulation area
2)
the I.R. intensity
are the parameters which should be closely monitored by the researcher.
On what concerns the positioning, a minimum of experience will lead to a satisfactory
standard.
Being the optics lodged in a rigid structure, the bulb voltage accurately controlled and the
I.R. output
factory calibrated by a Radiometer
(see paragraph 9-CALIBRATION), the
I.R. intensity is remarkably constant (±1%).
9 CALIBRATION
The
calibration
consists of the measure-
ment of the I.R.
output
power of the Plantar
Test with an I.R. Radiometer
1
, which in turn
has been calibrated with a standard I.R.
source.
To enter the calibration menu, depress
F1
(
OPR
), followed by the
F3 (CAL)
key.
