SAFETY 1.1. WARNINGS • Before using the Spectral Multimeter, read the following safety information carefully. In this Before reading the manual or before using this instrument read carefully the warnings below manual „WARNING“ is reserved for conditions that pose hazards to the user; „CAUTION“ is and make sure you understand them.
• Measures current- and voltage bursts. that exposure of the SM201 inputs to their maximum value for a prolonged time will result in additional measurement errors. These errors add to those given in the specification table. for t > 1 minute per 10 minutes 5A input: x 0.004 %/A...

Burst duration B_dur Energies apply to real-, apparent-, and reactive power.
RS 232 WARNING To avoid shock hazard, connect the Spectral Multimeter line cord to a receptacle with earth 600V IEEE-488 CAT II ground. Plug the line cord into the connector on the rear of the instrument. It will operate on any line voltage between 85V ac and 265V ac without adjustment, and any frequency between 50 and 400Hz.
The menu-key control field consists of keys M1 through M6 and go with the 6 menus shown along the bottom of the display. These menus are dynamically changing, depending on the cursor position and other action you may take. 4.6.

In OPERATING THE SPECTRAL MULTIMETER USING order for the Spectral Multimeter and the host to communicate through the interface the THE COMPUTER INTERFACE communication parameters of the Spectral Multimeter must match those of the host. 6.1.
For the IEEE-488 the hold-off is set when the input buffer of the Spectral Multimeter is full. This stops data transmission instantly until space in the input buffer is made available. RULE 1: Every command must be closed by a terminator. The maximum length must not exceed 32 characters.
The output data can also be a scaling factor, an instrument setting, a range indication, or an error number. Power ON User ReQuest (not used) CoMmand Error Execution Error Device Dependant Error Query Error (not used) ReQuest Control (not used) 6.6.4.

THE SPECTRAL MULTIMETER OPTIONS The Spectral Multimeter can be equipped with options 01, 02, and 03 which are all mounted on the Option Assembly Board. Option 04 is external to the Spectral Multimeter. Rear Panel 7.1. INSTALLING THE OPTION ASSEMBLY WARNING: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the power cord and test leads before removing the instrument hood.
