5.1.1 Definition of Scanner Operation States
Four operation states of the scanner can be distinguished:
The spectrometer is completely powered off. The scanner is
set in the “UNPOWERED” state for service activity of
electrical devices only.
Line power is present but spectrometer is off. No acquisition
is possible. The scanner is typically set into the “OFF” when
not in use for longer time. The host is still powered but all
built-in electronic and high power components are
powered down (except the power line distributor serving
the power switches)
The green LED is flashing for approximately 40 seconds
during spectrometer start-up.
The spectrometer is ready for use.
