PROGRAM MODE (for FW versions 17.05 & earlier only)

Program  mode  is  a  powerful  productivity  enhancing  facility,  as  it 
enables  operator  to  use  pre-set  routines.  The  program  mode  is 

particularly useful when performing optical margin testing, since a slow 
uniform increase of attenuation can be automatically achieved over a 
desired range.  

      15 different user programs (1 to 9 and A to F) can be set up and stored 

in none volatile memory. 

To use a previously set up program: 

-

 

Turn the instrument on and press [PROGRAM]. 

-

 

Select the desired program with the [-/+] button, press 
[SET] and then [GO]. 

-

 

Press [STOP] to halt the program, then press [GO] if you 
wish to continue. 

-

 

Press [RESTART] to restart the program. 

To exit program mode press [STOP], then [MENU]. 

Setting up Programs: 

Select the desired program location:[PROGRAM] [-/+] [SET]. 

To set up programs, access the hidden control panel by lifting up the 
hinged LCD cover. 

To set a parameter, press a parameter button on hidden control panel, 
then the [-/+] button to select the desired value. The selected value will 
be displayed. 

To abort the changes, press [CANCEL MEMORY]. 

You  can  use  the  hidden  control  panel  to  set  up  the  following 
parameters: 

Parameter button 

Parameter 

[

calibration wavelength   

[START] 

start position 

[FINISH] 

stop position 

[STEP] 

attenuation step   

[PERIOD] 

attenuation step period 

 

When  the  required  parameters  have  been  adjusted,  press  [SET 
MEMORY] to save changes. 

NOTE: Programs 1, 5, 6, 7 were pre-loaded in the factory. These can 
be changed by the user.
