RPM4/HPMS A70M/A20M-AF OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL

 PRINCIPLE
RPM4 A70M/A20M-AF is designed to support the calibration and test of a very wide variety of
test ranges in absolute and gauge measurement modes.
The AutoRange function simplifies the task of selecting the Q-RPT best suited to cover a
specific test range and setting measurement parameters appropriately for that specific range.
These are set automatically based on operator entry of desired measurement mode, pressure unit
of measure and range full scale. The selections and settings made by AutoRange are summarized
in Table 4.
A range set up using AutoRange and all its range specific settings, may be saved for recall
using [SETUP], <1range> (see Section 3.4.1). Saved ranges are available for later selection
using [RANGE] (see Section 3.3.1). If a range created by AutoRange is not saved, it is
overwritten by the next AutoRange or erased when another range is selected.
Press [ENT] from the main run screen in Rate DISPLAY mode to use the [AutoTest]
function to AutoRange RPM4 based on DUT tolerance (see Section 3.3.10).
