STD The light source is in a dormant state before the test. When the test
starts, the light source is turned on, and the light source is turned off
immediately after the test.
ACC1 The light source is automatically turned on before the test, the test
starts after 60 seconds of preheating, and the light source is turned
off after the test is over.
ACC2 After the instrument is powered on, the light source is turned on, and
the default is to continue to warm up. The test can be performed at
any time without waiting time.
1.5.2 Shake Mode
Notice:
When the instrument is in ACC2 mode, the main interface will
continue to flash and display a small light bulb (see 4.2.1.1 for
operation details) to remind the user that the halogen lamp is on.
The light source is a long-life halogen tungsten lamp with a
lifespan of more than 2000h. Long-term preheating of the lamp
will reduce the service life of the tungsten halogen lamp. It is
recommended that you do not select the ACC2 mode when it is not
in use for a long time.
The shake amplitude and shake frequency of the three shake modes are as follows:
Shake mode Shake amplitude Shake frequency
