5. Starting a Sampling Operation

The section describes how to use a setup created using the E-CON Mode to start an EA-100
sampling operation.

k

Before getting started...

Be sure to perform the following steps before starting sampling with the EA-100.

1. Connect the calculator to the EA-100.

2. Turn on EA-100 power.

3. In accordance with the setup you plan to use, connect the proper sensor to the

appropriate EA-100 channel.

4. Prepare the item whose data is to be sampled.

Starting a Sampling Operation

A sampling operation can be started when any one of the following conditions exist.

• After creating a new setup with Setup Wizard

See step 7 under “To create an EA-100 setup using Setup Wizard” on page 2-2.

• After creating a new setup with Advanced Setup

See step 6 under “To create an EA-100 setup using Advanced Setup” on page 2-4.

• While the E-CON main menu is on the display

Starting a sampling operation while the E-CON main menu is on the display performs
sampling using the contents of the current setup memory area (which were created using
Setup Wizard or Advanced Setup).

• While the setup memory list is on the display

You can select the setup you want on the setup memory list and then start sampling.

The following procedures explain the first three conditions described above. See “To recall a
setup and use it for sampling” on page 3-3 for information about starting sampling from the
setup memory list.
