Range indicator
- displays the current ra nge of the internal power meter. When
operating in 'Manual' ranging mode, the ra nge can be changed by cli cking the
required range number. Available ranges vary from 30 nA (range 1) to 10mA (range
12) (when the display units are selected to mA - see below). Note that in many
practical arrangements the lower ranges may be unusable with typical signal to noise
ratios.
Auto and Man
- button control used to toggle between auto and manual ranging. The
LED in the button is lit when selected.
Digital Display
- shows the feedback signal level being measured.
Display Units
- show the measurement units associated with the display.
If a PIN (TIA) inp ut signal is connected (input source is set to TIA mode using the
SetInputSrc
method), the display can be configured to display mA, mW or dB.
If 'mA' is selected, readings are displayed or returned as the display shows the
actual PIN current being detected by the PIN current amplifier.
Note
The serial number of the TNA001 NanoTrak unit associated with the GUI
panel is displayed in the top right hand corner. This information should
always be provided when requesting customer support.
