    Introduction The Kipp & Zonen METEON is a high-performance sensor readout unit with integrated data logger. The sensor sensitivity is programmed into the METEON such that the readout will show calibrated engineering units, rather than millvolts or microvolts. Use of the data logger functions and programming the sensor sensitivity is done with the USB interface which is standard supplied to connect the METEON to a PC.
  • Page 4: Operation

    The METEON is now ready for use. Switch the METEON on with the push-button switch on the top. To prevent that the METEON is switched off while logging, the on/off switched is mounted so that the button has to be pressed quite deep to switch on or off. You can feel it and hear it when the switch toggles.

    For each of these functions, an interface cable is required. This cable is used to connect a METEON to the USB bus on a PC. If your METEON comes bundled with a sensor, the sensitivity is already programmed into the METEON, In that case, the optional interface cable and the software give you access to the data logging functions only.
  • Page 6 The software is used to program the sensor sensitivity into the METEON. If the METEON came bundled with a sensor, your supplier may already have programmed the sensitivity of this sensor into the METEON. If that is the case, the software you received may not have this option.
