Section 1: Introducing the Model 9100 1-3
Final Width = 215mm
1.2.2 Operating Modes
In order to be able to calibrate a wide range of different UUTs, the 9100 has had
flexibility built into its design. There are five modes, only two of which, 'Manual' and
'Procedure' determine the everyday use of the instrument. The other three are concerned
with system configuration, 9100 calibration and 9100 selftest.
1.2.2.1 Manual Mode
In 'Manual' Mode: the 9100 is operated entirely from the front panel. The operator is
in complete charge of the calibration procedure, usually interpreted locally from the
UUT manufacturer's calibration data.
1.2.2.2 Procedure Mode
'Procedure' Mode involves the use of a memorized calibration procedure. The
manufacturer's data for the UUT will have been interpreted into a series of calibration
operations, which are programmed on to a memory card. When the card is inserted into
the 'PROCEDURE' slot in the front panel, the 9100 will move from operation to
operation, switching the 9100 controls automatically, and issuing a series of requests for
the operator to change UUT switching and connections.
1.2.2.3 Configuration Mode
This mode provides access for the user-selectable configuration options. These include:
Direct Access
• Change the viewing angle of the LCD screen display.
Password Access
• Set the instrument to power-up in either Manual or Procedure mode.
• Change the IEEE-488 bus address.
• Enable or disable the use of an external printer (Procedure mode only).
• Enable or disable the use of a data card in the 'RESULTS' slot (Procedure mode only).
• Adjust the threshold for high voltage warning.
• Determine the percentage of UUT measurement tolerance beyond which a 'Borderline' result
is called (Procedure mode only).
• Clear the displayed list of Procedure mode users.
• Alter the memorized date and time, and its format of presentation.
• Select the type of certificate required to be printed, alter some of the certificate details, and
re-format its pages (Procedure mode only).
• Alter the passwords required for entry to Configuration and Calibration modes.
• Set User language (Procedure mode only).
