Vega Functions, Which Are Independent Of Sensor Type - OPHIR vega User Manual

To turn the Vega on:
Briefly press the on/off switch. (See Figure 3.1)
The unit will switch on, and the display will appear. If no
sensor is connected, a display showing "Head
Disconnected" will appear. If a sensor is connected, the
appropriate default measurement screen will appear.
To toggle the state of the backlights on and off:
The backlight for the Vega's LCD can be configured to
toggle between full and partial illumination. Similarly, the
keypad lighting can be configured to toggle between on
and off (see Section 3.6.1 for full details). This toggling
will be performed by briefly pressing the on/off switch
after the Vega has been switched on.
To switch the Vega off:
Press the on/off switch and hold it for ~ 3 seconds until
the display blanks.
If you wish to save the current Vega configuration, use the
"Configure" function before switching off. For
measurements of the same type, the Vega does not need
to be set up each time. See the appropriate section in the
chapter dealing with the sensor type you intend to use.
3.5 Vega Functions, which are Independent of Sensor
Type
When no sensor is connected to the Vega and it is turned
on, the message "Head Disconnected" appears. In this
mode, the user can adjust the startup screen, either the
standard power/energy screens or other specialized
screens. He can adjust the baud rate for optimum
communication with the PC; choose the appropriate
maximum analog output value, or the user can zero the
instrument to eliminate any offsets. He can adjust the real
time date and time setting.
