USTTRAK monitor from the computer.
Refer to other sections of this Operation and Service Manual for details
on making measurements using LOG 2 and LOG 3 modes.
After programming the D
USTTRAK monitor with the TRAKPRO Data
Analysis Software, take the D
USTTRAK monitor to the desired location and
turn it on. Put it into LOG 2 or LOG 3 mode (whichever you programmed)
using the SAMPLING MODE key. Press the SAMPLE key to initiate the
program.
If you have set a start time and/or date, the display toggles between the next
“TEST ID” and the “ELAPSED TIME 0” message. If the test start time is
greater than one minute away, the D
USTTRAK monitor shuts off until one
minute before the test start time. This indicates that the D
USTTRAK monitor
is waiting until the programmed start time and dates occur. To prevent
tampering, lockout the display and keypad at this time.
