Master-8
This section demonstrates how to program the Master-8. Please follow the
instructions and notice how simple and straightforward they are.
Notes:
1. Each instruction is followed by a reference enabling you to find more details
on similar instructions.
2. Before continuing, make sure that you are familiar with the location of
different keys (see Section 2.1).
Before you begin to program, the entire Master-8 memory must be cleared.
Press keys: 'OFF, ALL, ALL, ALL, ENTER' (see Section 11).
This instruction clears all paradigms of Master-8.
Now you are ready to program it.
1. Set channel #1 to the FREE-RUN mode (see Section 7).
Press keys: 'FREE, 1, ENTER'.
Channel #1 now delivers pulses continuously. Since you have not yet set the time
parameters, the channel is running with its default times: 0.1 sec. duration and
0.2 sec. interval (from the beginning of a pulse to the beginning of the next one).
2. Set the duration time of channel #1 to 9.5 msec. (see Section 8).
The format of 9.5 msec. will be 9.5 x 10
Section 8).
Press keys 'DURA, 1' - the previous duration is displayed. Since the
duration time of channel #1 has not been set yet, the result now is 'FFFF FF'
Now to continue -
Press keys: '9.5, ENTER, 3, ENTER'.
('3' for msec. For seconds use '0', for µsec use '6'). The duration of
channel #1 is now exactly 9.5 msec. (Please check with an oscilloscope).
3. Set the interval time of channel #1 to 2 sec. (see Section 8).
Press keys: 'INTER, 1, 2, ENTER, 0, ENTER'.
(The '0' indicates that you are counting in seconds.) Now channel #1 is
running in the FREE-RUN mode. Its duration time is 9.5 msec. and its
interval is 2 sec.
