Gettingstarted Usersettingsscreen 5 Getting started 5.1 Powering on the Super-Thermometer CAUTION: Before powering the Super-Thermometer on, ensure that the line voltage selection is set properly. Refer to Section 3.3, Line voltage and fuses, on page 11 for instructions. Power the Super-Thermometer on by setting the power switch located on the back panel to the On position. After power is on, pressing the Power Standby switch on the front panel puts the system into hibernation, leav- ing key components such as the resistor oven powered on.
1594A/1595ASuper-Thermometer Connectingaprobeorresistor KEYPAD BEEP- enables (ON) or disables (OFF) the audio indication that accompanies each key-press. The default option is ON. START-UP HELP- determines whether the User Settings screen appears automatically after power-on. When the settings is ON the User Settings screen will appear every time the power is switched on. If the setting is OFF the Measurement screen will appear instead.

Gettingstarted Connectingaprobeorresistor The DWF connectors are labeled with C1, C2 (current connections) and P1, P2 (measurement potential con- nections). The guard connector is labeled with a “G” and is used for connecting to a probe or resistor guard or shield. The guard connection may help reduce measurement noise. Connect a probe or resistor, as specified by the device’s manufacturer, to any one of the four measurement channels located on the front panel.
Makingmeasurements Temperaturemeasurement 6 Making measurements 6.1 Introduction The Super-Thermometer has been designed to allow quick and easy measurement setup while providing flex- ible measurement options. A measurement setup varies with the type of measurement being performed. The purpose of the following sections is to guide the user through the setup of typical measurements. Refer to the Technical Guide for more detailed information concerning measurement setup.
