Quick Start Guide - Optoelectronics Scout User Manual

Step 1 TURN THE SCOUT ON
Set the POWER switch to the on position. On power-up, an LCD self-test will be displayed for two
seconds, followed by the COMMUNICATIONS LANGUAGE for two seconds.
If the CAPTURE switch is ON when the Scout is turned on, the beeper is enabled.
Step 2 SELECT COMMUNICATIONS LANGUAGE
There are two different communications settings for the Scout; CI-5 and AR8000.
To change the communications language:
1. Make sure FILTER and CAPTURE switches are in the ON position, or up.
2. Just after switching the power on, slide the CAPTURE switch to the OFF position, or down.
3. The Scout will display the new communications language.
Step 3 SELECT NORMAL MODE
NORMAL mode is selected by placing both the FILTER and CAPTURE switches in the OFF posi-
tion. In this mode the Scout functions as a conventional free-running frequency counter, where fre-
quency measurements are continuously displayed. The gate setting can be changed by pressing the
GATE/RECALL/CLEAR push-button switch on the front panel. The Scout has four different gate
settings.
