Description
Scope of this manual
This is the primary operator’s manual for the ATS-1 Access. It
describes all aspects of the instrument’s features and functionality. For
fundamental audio test and measurement information, we refer you to
Audio Precision’s Audio Measurement Handbook, listed on the
following page.
This first section is a basic introduction to the physical and electrical
characteristics of the instrument, including options. Some simplified
diagrams and brief discussion help you gain insight into the instrument
performance.
Section 2 provides instruction and overview for connecting and turning
on the instrument, performing a self-test, and gaining insight to the
connectors and front-panel display and controls.
Section 3 provides an operational overview, description of all controls
and connectors, and discussion of the measurement units that may be
displayed. Cable diagrams are also given to aid fabrication of cables
for specialized requirements.
Specific measurement functions are described in Section 4, as well as
printing capabilities and other operational informantion.
Using the ATS-1 Access to perform tests and measurements in specific
applications is described in Section 5. Rather than detailed instrucitons,
this section provides insights for the experienced user.
Appendices A, B, and C contain service information. Most of these
operations can be performed by the average user, but we urge you to
seek assistance if you are not technically qualified to perform them.
This manual does not include test, calibration, or repair information.
Appendix D presents the instrument specifications. These specifications
are believed correct at the time of printing, but are subject to change or
correction, and therefore presented here for reference only. Consult
Audio Precision for the latest information.
