Return to Section 5 topics
To set the measurement units, press the UNITS key to display the
READING UNITS menu. Select VOLTS, OHMS, WATTS, or SIEMENS.
When WATTS is selected, you will then be prompted to select the power
units type: AVERAGE or PEAK. Measurement units can be changed while
Pulse Delta is running.
6. On the Model 622x, press the PULSE key to arm Pulse Delta.
The Model 622x is armed when the message “PULSE MODE ARMED
Press TRIG to start” or “PULSE SWEEP ARMED Press TRIG to start” is
displayed briefly and the ARM annunciator turns on.
7. On the Model 6221, press the TRIG key to start taking Pulse Delta readings
and send them to the buffer.
If a finite Pulse Delta count is being used, the Pulse Delta measurements
will stop after the last Pulse Delta measurement is performed. However,
Pulse Delta remains armed and can be run again by pressing the TRIG key.
The new Pulse Delta readings will overwrite the old readings in the buffer.
If the infinite Pulse Delta count is being used, Pulse Delta will run
continuously. If the buffer fills, Pulse Delta readings will stop being stored,
even though Pulse Delta continues to run.
8. When finished, press EXIT to disarm Pulse Delta.
9. On the Model 6221, press RECALL to access the Pulse Delta readings
stored in the buffer.
