A press of the START button sets up the filament measurement state (FIL, RF, and
secondary electron multiplier (SEM) (if present). A second press stops
measurement.

ration (%), ANY and TP.
CAUTION:
Before pressing START, use an ion gauge or other instrument to make sure that
the pressure is within the operating pressure range. Always use under a pressure
of 1 x 10-2 Pa or less. If the pressure is higher than 1 x 10-2 Pa, the filament will
burn out and the life of secondary electron multiplier (SEM) will be extremely short
and the RF power supply will fail.
