Measurement
Please pay attention to the safety hints in chapters 5+6 and factors affecting measurement accuracy in chapter
7.
The measurement can be started from the PVPM or from a connected PC (see chapter 12). The measurement
should not be started before the solar generator and the necessary sensors are connected properly. The I-V-
curve measurement will take up to 2 seconds, than the calculated results will be displayed immediately on the
PVPMs display (or on the PC).
