and the displayed power is 5.000 mW, then 5.0 volts is present on the POWER
ANALOG OUT connector.
Should the power analog output appear to jump frequently between minimum and
maximum values it is likely that the unit is in AUTO power range mode and the
gain range is oscillating between two states. Placing the unit in manual mode
should alleviate the problem.

General Operating Procedures

The following sections present some guidelines for operation. Remote operation
is discussed in Chapters 3 and 4.

Warm-up and Environmental Considerations

Operate the OMM-6810B at an ambient temperature between 10 and 40
Storage temperatures should be between -40 to +70
stability, let the OMM-6810B warm up for at least 1 hour before use.

Other Considerations

The OMM-6810B is designed to provide the user with a simple operating format.
The Measurement Head being used must be connected to the instrument and the
device should be zeroed under nominal test conditions. The beam of the source
should be directed perpendicular to the face of the OMH and directly into its
aperture. Be sure the entrance angle does not exceed the specified +5
perpendicular. Be aware that certain lasers emit an amount of non-lasing
radiation. This radiation can cause an erroneous measurement if the source is
placed too close to the Optical Measurement Head.
