7.2.5 Synchronization after the test (recommended)
If the Meter and Station were synchronized during the measurements they should be
synchronized again after finishing the tests. In this step the values of generated currents
(measured with the Station) are downloaded to the Meter. On base of the real generated
current data the correction of measured results in the Meter is done. For more information
see chapter
Connect Meter to the Station with the RS232 cable.
On Meter select
AFTER TESTS
in
SYNC. MI3295S
menu and confirm.
Follow the information on the Meter LCD. If the synchronization succeeds a
confirmation beep will follow the

messages.
