5.1 Setting up the main measurement parameters - General Settings
Delay before the measurement start
The Start Delay position defines the delay period from the moment the
<Start/Stop> push-button is pressed to the start of the actual measurements
(the digital filters of the instrument constantly analyse the input signal even when
the measurement is stopped). This delay period can be set from 0 second to
60 seconds (with 1 second step by means of the ◄ or ► push-buttons and with
10 second step by means of the ◄ or ► push-buttons pressed together with
<Shift>).
Note: The minimum delay period is equal to 0 second. In the Calibration mode, the delay period is
always equal to 3 seconds.
Synchronisation of the measurement start
The Start Sync. position defines maximum delay period from pressing the
<Start/Stop> push-button to the start of the measurements to allow
synchronisation with the instrument’s RTC. The Start Sync. parameter can be
set as: Off, 1m, 15m, 30m and 1h. For example, if 1h was selected, then each
measurement starts from the first second of next real time hour after pressing
<Start/Stop> push-button, and then each hour after Integr. Period, if
Rep. Cycles is greater than one. The default value is set to Off.
