Switch the PDM Platform On/OFF
The platform is switched on and off by software control as soon as the zebris FDM soft-
ware on the PC is started.
If the platform is connected properly the green status Led will be illuminated constantly.
The battery switch of mobile platforms which is located on the left-hand side of the plat-
form is designated for switching the battery on and off when the device is operated in wire-
less mode.
5.8
Charging the battery (PDM mobile only)
Two modes of operation are available for charging the battery:
Fast charging by means of the power supply unit.
If the power supply unit is
connected the battery will be charged as long as the battery switch is set to position
I. With the power supply unit connected a measurement and battery charging can
be performed simultaneously.
Reduced charging via USB cable
and the connected PC. If the platform is con-
nected to a PC by its USB interface a relatively slow charging process is active as
long as the battery switch is set to position I. In respect of charging current limited
by USB specifications the charging process is slower. Without a power supply unit
connected to the platform simultaneous measurement and charging is not possible.
