Powering Up
The Analyzer is powered by a 9-volt alkaline battery. An external power jack
is provided for use with a 9 V dc modular power source that plugs into the ac
line. Plugging into this jack mechanically disconnects the battery.
The low battery detection circuit outputs a low level digital signal when the
battery voltage reaches 6.1 volts. This signal is polled along with the function
softkeys every 10 ms and, if a low battery condition occurs, the display
indicates WARNING - LOW BATTERY!! To continue, replace the battery or
use an external power source.
Upon power-up, the microprocessor receives software instructions from the
resident firmware and provides information to the user on the Analyzer display
or on a remote display via the serial port. The following message appears
briefly on the display, identifying the software version:
fcf001.eps

1. Press the ENERG , SYNC , PEAK or WAVE softkey to access a submenu
of specific functions.
2. Press more to toggle between Main Menu 1 and Main Menu 2 .
