To operate in normal mode (which is required for
scanning), turn on the instrument and then restart the OBR

“Instrument Configuration” on page 34, and “Calibrating the System” on page 35.)
Any time the equipment stabilizes to a new ambient temperature (anywhere between
10–40 ºC) the user may wish to perform another Reference Scan for greater
