Initial Operation - Teledyne 6400A Instruction Manual

TAI Model 6400A SO

2.3 Initial Operation

Turn on the instrument power.
1. The display should immediately light, displaying the instrument type (6400A) and the
CPU memory configuration. If you are unfamiliar with the 6400A, we recommend that you
read the overview Section 4 before proceeding. A diagram of the software menu trees is in
Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2.
The 6400A requires about 60 minutes for all internal components to come up to temperature.
2. While waiting for instrument temperatures to come up, you can check for correct
operation by using some of the 6400A's diagnostic and test features.
3. Examine the TEST functions by comparing the values listed in Table 2-1 to those in the
display. Remember that as the instrument warms up the values may change until they reach
their final values. If you would like to know more about the meaning and utility of each
TEST function refer to Table 9-1. Table 2-1 also contains the list of options. Section 6 covers
setting up the options.
4. When the instrument is warmed up, re-check the TEST functions against Table 2-1. All
of the readings should compare closely with those in the Table. If they do not, see Section
9.1.1.
Do not calibrate the analyzer within 60 minutes after the power reset.
