LAUNCH STS600 (⑥ of Fig.1)and power cable(③ of Fig.1).The signal cables can be connected to the meter through a DB9 plug. The power cable is linked to the meter by a 2-pin plug. The instrument front surface is divided into two parts: LCD display window on the upper part (①...
LAUNCH STS600 5.2 POWER After correctly connecting the power cable to the two poles of auto battery (12V), the instrument will start self-testing. The screen will show all the characters (see Fig.2). You would hear one ‘bee’ sound confirming the instrument in normal condition.
LAUNCH STS600 Fig.2 Full display 5.4 KEYBOARD OPERATION 5.4.1 keyboard layout See Fig.3, there are 19 keys in total.
Page 11
LAUNCH STS600 Fig3 Keyboard layout Five main function keys from left to right correspond to five main function icons on the screen separately as Voltage test key, Resistance test key, Frequency test key, Voltage simulation key (λ O sensor simulation key) and Frequency simulation key.
LAUNCH STS600 Three additional function keys: Keys ‘↑’ and ’↓’ are used for continuous increasing or decreasing adjustment of simulation value. Key ‘F’ is an additional key for combined keys use. Digit keys (0--9) and decimal key: They are only used for setting parameter of frequency simulation and voltage simulation.
LAUNCH STS600 also shown by the dynamic bar. The value out of 40V will make the dynamic bar reach its full length. For example, the screen of 20V DC measuring is like Fig.5. Fig.5 The display when measuring 20V DC If the voltage value goes beyond 400V, it should be displayed mark ‘1.’.

LAUNCH STS600 Fig.6 Initial display when ‘resistance measurement’ is pressed After the signal jaws to the measure points be connected, resistance value will be shown. The testing max. and min. value will simultaneously be displayed on the upper section. For example, if measured resistance is 1.5Ω, it will display like Fig.7.
LAUNCH STS600 Fig.7 The display when measured resistance is 1.5KΩ If signal jaws are disconnected at this moment or the resistance value goes beyond 4M Ω , the mark ‘1.’ for over-range will be displayed. There are three range of measured resistance values: Ω、...

LAUNCH STS600 Connecting the signal jaws to the measurement points, it will show the frequency value. The max. and min. testing values will simultaneously be shown on the upper part of the screen. For example, the screen will be like Fig.9 when measuring 1Hz.
LAUNCH STS600 Fig.10 the displayed mark for over-range Refer to the corresponding description in ‘resistance measurement’ for max. and min. value meanings. 5.8 FREQUENCY SIMULATION 5.8.1 Operation procedure 1) It enters the status of setting parameter for frequency simulation after pressing ‘frequency simulation’ key. The ‘frequency simulation’...

LAUNCH STS600 finished the parameter setting. Now you can press ‘frequency simulation’ key to output the signal of frequency simulation. If the parameter is correct, it should output the corresponding signal of frequency simulation, at the same time the ‘Min.’ display ‘-- -- --’. It indicated that it had entered the status of frequency simulation.
LAUNCH STS600 If the current frequency unit is ‘KHz’ and the display number in the range from 1KHz to 10KHz, each press ‘↑’ or ‘↓’ key would add or subtract 0.01KHz. If the current frequency unit is ‘KHz’ and the display number in the range from 10KHz to 15KHz, each press ‘↑’...

LAUNCH STS600 Fig.16 the display when entering “11.5V” If you don’t input any number or the number of input isn’t in the range of 0V~12V, then pressing ‘voltage measurement’ function key will cause ‘Err’ character on the screen and respond three sounds to remind user to input number. At last it returns to the Fig.11 for input again.
LAUNCH STS600 If the number is integer or decimals, each time the scope of adjustment is ±0.1V. 6. FAQ If the instrument fails to work normally due to accidents, it can be restarted by disconnecting power, and then power-on again .
