Key Switch

The controller's main electrical power ON / OFF switch is located on the
bottom left-hand corner of the front panel. With the 6100 connected to an AC
power source, the instrument electrical power is completely turned-OFF when
the key switch is in the "0" position. Conversely, the unit's electrical power is
turned-ON when the key switch is in the "I" position.
During the power-up sequence, the following take place:
The instrument is restored to the state in which it was last turned OFF.
The Laser Diode and TEC outputs are turned OFF.
The instrument's firmware version is displayed on the LCD screen for a few
seconds
