Getting Started

For first use, plug in the power supply and allow 4 hours charging the battery.
During the charging process the right LED indicator lights up, even when the unit
is turned off.
Connect a suitable Thorlabs "C-series" power or energy sensor. The sensors
have a self-fixing mechanism. To plug or unplug a sensor slightly press from
both sides on the pins in the connector housing. Sensors can be 'hot-swapped'
to the console, after recognizing a new valid sensor the type and calibration data
will be downloaded to the console in a few seconds and the unit is ready to
operate with the new sensor.
Turn on the unit by pressing the power button in the side panel.
After switching on the unit, the touch screen display will come up with a boot
screen for about 30 seconds and then jump to the last measurement screen
before power down.
