1.2 Overview
Note: Unless otherwise indicated, all references to the model ESM301 also apply to the ESM301L.
The ESM301 has three functional modes:
1. OPERATING MODE
This is the operating mode in which testing sequences can be started and stopped.
2. TEST PARAMETER SETUP
In this mode, test parameters are configured, such as rate of speed, number of cycles, password
editing, and other parameters.
3. FEATURE
ACTIVATION
SETUP
This facility allows the user to enable features not originally purchased through a code activation
process.
DEMO MODE
The ESM301 is shipped in Demo Mode, during which time all available features are
temporarily activated for 160 hours of operation. At power-up, a counter displays the
number of hours remaining, as follows:
Press the STOP button to continue.
At the end of this period, any features not originally purchased will be deactivated.
Demo Mode can be suspended at any time by pressing and holding STOP while
turning on power to the test stand. This mode can be re-enabled in the same
manner, and will be active for the remaining time period.
Refer to the Feature Activation Setup section for instructions for field activation.
