Procedure – Software Setup
This guide gives instructions for quickly setting up the SIGNAL RECOVERY
Model 9210 Precision Lock-in Amplifier and a procedure to verify that it has
arrived in good order with no shipping damage.
Figure 1, Model 9210 Lock-in Amplifier
1) After unpacking the box(es), check that you have the following items:
Model 9210 Lock-in Amplifier
Multi Country Line Power Cord
USB Memory Stick
2) Check the model 9210 for shipping damage. If any is noted,
SIGNAL RECOVERY should be notified immediately and a claim filed
with the carrier. The shipping container should be saved for inspection by the
carrier.
3) Check that the power switch on the rear of the model 9210 is set to the "Off"
position (O side pressed in).
4) Select the correct plug to suit the line power receptacle in your location and
use the IEC power cord to connect this plug to the power inlet socket on the
rear of the model 9210. The instrument uses a universal power supply so
unlike some other SIGNAL RECOVERY models there is no need to adjust a
line voltage setting or change a fuse.
5) Plug in the line power cord and turn on the model 9210's power switch. The
red Main LED on the front panel should light, followed other LEDs as the
instrument performs a self-check routine. The internal cooling fan should
also be heard to operate.
The supplied USB memory stick includes the MCL (multichannel lock in)
application software, the LabVIEW driver, and the product manual in PDF
format. To install the software, proceed as follows.
1) Plug the USB stick into a PC running Windows 7 or later, and use File
Explorer to navigate to the folder (figure 2):
