Gentec-EO PC-Gentec-EO (for MAESTRO and INTEGRA) - Manual (Page 14)

PC-Gentec- EO User’s Manual Revision 5.0 13
If a USB Bluetooth adapter is present on a PC, it is possible that the
connection will take longer. Some USB Bluetooth adapters use the same
virtual port as the PC-Gentec-EO, but the delay for verifying the
connection to the Bluetooth port is longer than the traditional serial port.

3.1.2.1 “Turbo Mode” button
The Turbo Mode is used for joulemeters to transfer data from the device. It switches the MAESTRO and
the INTEGRA in binary mode to accelerate data transfer from the USB port. Turning off the Turbo Mode
will put the device in ASCII mode. For optimal use, the Turbo Mode should always be on.
3.1.2.2 “Set Zero” button
This button adjusts the zero on the detector head It resets the zero reading level. It does this by
subtracting the power reading on the display as soon as the Set Zero button is touched. Subsequent
measurements will be relative to this zero power level. The main purpose of this option is to remove
reading offset caused by thermal noise in the environment. Thermal noise is caused by a detector that
has not been thermally stabilized OR there was a heat source in the field of view of the detector when the
PC-Gentec-EO was connected (for example, the hand or body of the user). Use this function once your
power meter has achieved thermal equilibrium to ensure accurate measurements.
For
instructions on the proper way to adjust your detector’s offset to zero see step 8 in Section 2 Quick
start procedure.
In Energy mode the zero clears the current value.
3.1.2.3 “Start/Stop Acquisition” button
This button starts and stops the acquisition to a logging file. The different options for the acquisition can
be made in the Set Acquisition tab. The Gentec-EO device must be connected to start the acquisition.
