Taking a measurement:
There are two ways to start a measurement. 1) Operating in
Hygiene mode. 2) Manually start and stop measurement in
Survey mode. To start a measurement in Hygiene mode,
please refer to Section 4.7.1 on “Change Op mode”. To
start a measurement in Survey mode, the MiniRAE 2000
monitor must first be in the “Ready…” mode. This is the
mode to which the monitor normally powers up.
