trigger level. As a result, the auto range may become caught on a high scale value. To avoid this
problem, select a lower value for the trigger level, change the scale manually, or reset the auto range
mode by reselecting auto in the Range menu (section 2.4.2.2).
Erratic triggering?
In electrically noisy environments, it is possible that the MAESTRO will inadvertently trigger on
the noise. If this is the case, increase the trigger level to 3% or higher if necessary.
It is always good practice to reduce electrical noise generation or shield the detector and
monitor when measuring very low pulse energies.
You can also set the MAESTRO to be triggered externally, via the RS-232 port using a special cable (part
number 201956). Just touch the External Trigger check box.
2.4.3 Display
The various displays offered by the MAESTRO allow you to quickly view measurements in several
different ways. You will appreciate the easy-to-view high resolution, color graphic in dual or full-screen
mode on the 112.9 x 84.7 mm LCD display. You can choose five different display modes:

Real Time

Scope

Needle

Averaging

Histogram (Not available on this version, check our website for new versions).

Statistics
This allows you to select the best way to display measurements according to your specific needs. You
can switch from one option to another without interfering with the measurements.
