Easy, Safe and Clever
The instrument design was inspired by the requirements of users participating in in-depth
workshops around the world and the results of our research showed that besides being fun to
use, the new generation of analyzer should be easy, safe and clever:
• Type 2250 is easy to use – its robustness, lightness and ergonomic design make it easy to
grip, hold and operate single-handedly. Ingenious software ensures you can start measuring
quickly. You will never feel lost in the menu structure, in every situation you are just one
tap or press of a pushbutton away from where you started. The backlit pushbuttons are easy
to use and the large, colour touchscreen is visible in both sunlight and in difficult lighting
conditions depending on the colour-scheme chosen. Type 2250 incorporates a simple user
interface that can be controlled by using the stylus or the pushbuttons. It has an easy and
intuitive data storage concept and on-line guidance is included to help you get familiar with
the instrument quickly.
• Type 2250 is safe to use – it was built for use outdoors and in difficult environmental
conditions, so it is powered by rechargeable Li-Ion batteries (with high capacity) and the
casing incorporates non-slip materials to ensure a safe grip. The software guides you safely
through each measurement and status indicators show measurement progress, even at a
distance. You can document your measurements on the spot using on-the-fly voice or text
annotations. These are automatically attached to your measurement and transferred with
your data to the PC. Type 2250 includes a multi-user login facility, which allows preferences,
setups and data for different users – or different tasks – to be kept separate.
• Type 2250 is clever – it incorporates various smart features for field use, including: specially
positioned backlit pushbuttons to allow vital start-stop-save actions to be done by feel and
at night, single-handedly; a separate built-in commentary microphone, giving you the option
of recording your personal comments while measuring and automatically attaching them to
your on-going measurement; ‘traffic light’ indicators to give you a quick indication of your
measurement’s status
– visible at a distance; a calibration history, allowing you to document
your measurement’s validity; semi-automatic calibration procedure built-in; and the presence
of a windscreen is automatically detected and corrected for by built-in filters.
Using the Platform
Great care has been taken to ensure that the hardware is ergonomically optimal in field use.
Similarly, the software design has focused not only on making valid measurements but also
on making field use efficient, convenient and intuitive.
All user choices for setups (what to measure) and preferences (how to display it) are controlled
using easy to understand lists, that can be expanded and collapsed. No more cluttered displays,
choose only the parameters you want to see.
Display Options
As a user, you have several ways of tailoring the display to suit your specific needs. However,
standard display elements are used to ensure commonality not only across different software
modules, but also across different users, setups and preferences.
Type 2250 applies a default colour scheme for the display. This is like most examples in this
data sheet. However, the instrument includes several schemes allowing you to make your own
choice for outdoor use in bright sunlight (where maximum contrast is needed) and for night-
time use (where no interference with night vision is wanted).
Type 2250 makes a distinction between the measurement made and how it is displayed.
Generally, Type 2250 constantly measures all the available quantities in parallel, what you see
on the display are the parameters you have selected to see. All the other quantities are measured
simultaneously, irrespective of your display preferences.
