Observed failures are shown on the display.
After a warm-up phase the device is ready and the display switches over to the
measurement mode.
In the measurement mode the following functions are available :

It is recommended to start the „ANALYZE“
function after the insert of each sample.

automatically after closing the cover. See also chapter 4.2.2.
Simultaneously with the beginning of the measurement also the LOG function

Note:
An ongoing measurement is stopped together with the LOG function as soon
as the measurement chamber is opened.
• Button [Start/Stop] (push button for a longer time):

o A protocol with the current measurement values is stored on
the SD-card.
