Step 9. Set the System Standby Mode

If the multi-wavelength meter has been inactive for a specified period of
time, it will be switched into standby mode. When this happens, two
things will occur:
• The LCD display will be turned off.
• If the instrument is in Continuous sweep mode, the motor movement, and any
related data collection, will be suspended.
The internal reference laser is always on to allow the instrument to
immediately make accurate measurements when it is reactivated.
Any subsequent activity, front-panel or remote, will reactivate the
instrument and return it to it's previous state. Using this feature can help
extend the life of your instrument. To extend the life of the reference laser,
you should turn off the instrument during long periods of inactivity.
