Storing spectrum-pictures

 

All spectrum-pictures can be stored in the S

TAR

 LOOK-D

.

 

This is very useful for documentation and to use later on for recognizing/identifying of that 

satellites characteristic spectrum  

The Mix-function helps you to identify and “find the way back” to already known (and 

previously stored) satellites. 

The function places a previous memory in the background of the spectrum. 

When the “right” satellite is found it will be like “fitting a hand to a glove” 

  

 

To store measured-data, do like this: 

 

* Chose the spectrum to store (i.e. exactly as displayed on the monitor) and push button nr 9   

   in the Main menu (Memory). 

* Select ”Save” button nr 2. 

* The instrument asks: -”SAVE. ARE YOU SURE ?” 

* Check that the Memory position is the right one (shown down to the right in the monitor).   

   If not, chose one with the main-knob (Pos free: 00-99). 

* Having select a position, press button nr 1 (YES). 

* Notice that the set up of 13V/18V, 22 kHz on/off will be stored to. 

 

 

Text-editor: 

When the spectrum is saved, the Text-editor appears on the monitor, which makes it 

possible to enter a name for that memory-position (ex. ASTRA 1D). 

Use the knob to select the first letter (ex. A) and save it with the control-button. Move to the 

next letter (ex. S) and so on.  

If a mistake is made and wrong letter is saved, simply correct by pushing button nr 1 

(Delete) and the cursor will jump one position backward. 

 

 

 

 

To collect a stored spectrum: 

 

* Enter the ”Memory”-function with button nr 9 in the Main menu. 

* Select the spectrum to load (use the main-knob: pos 00-99 displayed down to the right in the   

   monitor). 

* Load the spectrum to the monitor with button nr 1.  

   
   Notice that the function 

Reference cursor

,

 Ref marker, is enabled when a stored spectrum is    

  loaded. 

 

 

To mix a stored spectrum with an ongoing measuring, do like this: 

 

* Enter the ”Memory”-function with button nr 9 in the Main menu. 

* Select the spectrum to load (use the main-knob: pos 00-99 displayed down to the right in the  

   monitor). 

* Mix the spectrum with the ongoing measuring with button nr 4.  

 

-

 Turn off the Mix-memory by pushing the nr 4 button again.
