Quick Check
The free run mode has no trigger level. As soon as the meter is told to begin
measuring, it starts to measure even if there is no signal. This measuring mode is
useful when the signal you want to measure is very low. Free run is recommended for
light measurements, especially when measuring "ambient" light (when no shutter is
present).
The Timed mode setting measures during a pre-defined time period. Measurements in
Timed mode must be started manually. This measuring mode is very useful when you
want to measure a very low signal. You can use the "very high" sensitivity setting in
Timed mode and it will further improve the meter's capability to measure very low
signals.
You can read more about meter settings for Piranha in the topics Meter Adjust and Different measuring
modes.
