Erasing Acquisition Data

Erasing Acquisition Data

The data stored through a programmed acquisition (up to 1024) can only
be erased as a group.

To erase acquisition data:
1.
Press Recall.

2. Scroll (left/right arrows) to CLR ACQ.

3. Press ENTER.

4. To exit the Recall menu, press Recall.

Customizing Your Optical Power Meter

Customized settings are kept in non-volatile memory and are, therefore,
saved when the PM-1100 is turned off. Settings for a specific use or user
may also be saved (up to 10 configurations can be saved). See Saving a
Configuration
on page 39.

Changing the Resolution

You can set the Optical Power Meter to display 0, 1, 2, or 3 digits after the
decimal point. An automatic resolution is also available, where the number
of digits after the decimal point is determined by the actual power level
being measured.

Note: Higher power levels can be more accurately measured and, therefore,

displayed with a greater resolution.

After you press ENTER, all the acquisition data in the 1024 registers
