System Menu Front Panel Operation
5-22 PN: 10585-00001 Rev. P ML2437A/38A OM/PM
5-6 System Menu
The System menus control the operating modes, display visibility, sound, rear panel
functions, and battery state of the ML243xA Power Meter. Note that the soft keys will appear
differently depending upon the operation mode selected with the Setup soft key below.
Setup
This menu selects the operation mode, allows system setups to be saved or recalled, and
provides two options to reset the system parameters to the default setup.
MODE [OPMD]
Select between Readout, Power vs. Time, Source Sweep and Profile operation modes. If
only Readout is available, check the System > Rear Panel > GPIB > Mode setting. This
setting must be ML24XX for Profile, Power vs. Time and Source Sweep modes to be
available.
SAVE [*SAV SYSLD SYSRD SYSLNM]
Save the current instrument setup in one of 10 memory locations.
RECALL [*RCL SYSLD SYSRD SYSLNM]
Recall a saved instrument setup from one of 10 memory locations.
LINK [LINK]
There are two trigger conditions saved; one for Profile mode and one for Readout mode.
Normally, Profile mode trigger conditions can be changed without affecting the trigger
conditions used in Readout mode. With LINK set to ON, the Profile mode trigger
conditions are used for both Profile and Readout modes.
In Profile mode, the user can view what is being measured with the selected trigger
conditions, but only over a limited dynamic range, as it only uses the two DC ranges of
the signal channel. Profile mode measurement rate is also limited by sweep speed.
With LINK readout/profile trigger set to ON, switching to Readout mode uses the same
trigger conditions, but allows the full dynamic range of the meter to be used, as well as
providing full GPIB speed on data acquisition.
Note
When editing an entry in a menu, pressing the CLR key clears the digits. If in a
menu screen, pressing the CLR key returns to the previous menu level.
Note
When using the ML243xA Series Power Meter with an MA2499A or MA2499B
Sensor Adapter, only Readout and Power vs. Time modes are allowed.
