Applying Power to the TR-2100

When all the relevant connections have been made, the system is switched on by first
opening the front panel to expose the power switch. This is the toggle switch at the lower
right of the enclosure. It is moved to the right to turn on the TR-2100.
When the TR-2100 is switched on, it performs a series of internal self tests to check the
processor, the memory and the acquisition system. This takes about 30 seconds after which,
if no fault is found, the TR-2100 will illuminate the green 'On line' lamp and start acquiring
data. If a printer is attached, the parameter settings are printed.
The sampling rate, channel labels and scaling and other parameters may have been set at the
factory. If these are to be changed, Display Station must be connected to the 'Program' plug
on the front panel. Other parameters may also be changed over the remote connection. See
the Display Station manual for details on programming the TR-2100.
Real Time Display
The real time display function in Display Station may be used to check that the signal levels
reported by the TR-2100 are correct. The phase relationships of the voltages and currents
may also be seen. The status of all the digital inputs is also shown. For more information on
this, see the Display Station manual.
Test Record
To generate a local hard copy of the system configuration and signal inputs, the Test button
may be used. This requires that a printer is attached locally. This is described in the previous
chapter.
