measurement. The 2 LEDs are OFF.
The countdown is 5 seconds for the FLASH-500, the FLASH-
6K, the FLASH-10K and 10 seconds for the FLASH-3K. The
thermometer is continously updated independently of the mode.
(5) As soon as the measurement is completed, the FLASH
displays the measured value and turns the backlight and
the green LED ON for 10 seconds.
Immediately after the measured value is displayed, the laser
beam can be turned off.
The red LED will be ON instead of the green LED if a
measurement error occurred. (See the error section for details).
When the green LED is off, the next measurement can be done
by returning to step (3) described above.
The value is kept on display until a new measurement is started.
(The last measurement is stored in the FLASH’s nonvolatile
memory).

(6) To turn the FLASH off, press and hold the button
for 3 seconds. The FLASH temporarily displays « OFF » and
turns off completely.
The FLASH turns off automatically after 5 minutes of inactivity.
2.2 Semi-continuous mode (Does not work in energy mode [Joule])
The semi-continuous mode allows no stabilization time between
two measurements.
The semi-continuous mode can be used only after a
measurement if the laser beam is still on and the max
temperature is not reached. The semi-continuous mode is
disabled when the FLASH is in error case (see section 2.6).
State 1 : Do a first measure with standard mode as
described above and let the laser ON.
State 2 : Press the button to do a fast measurement.
(No countdown)
State 3 : The second measure (semi-continuous mode) is
then displayed.
