Getting Started
(1) Powering Up:
PIM 31 test systems power up in a similar fashion to a desktop PC. However,
there is one exception: Significant RF power has to be controlled and managed.
For this reason, PIM 31 Series instruments contain a system to protect the
hardware and prevent unusual on / off cycles (such as 3 cycles per second).
When operated normally, the user will not be aware of these protective
measures.
• Briefly press the start button on the front panel.
