Getting Started
After unpacking the SunScan consignment and checking the contents against the
packing list, you will want to know if everything is functioning correctly. All parts
of the system are checked at our factory before despatch, so you should not
anticipate trouble. If the SunScan carrying case is difficult to open, slacken the
pressure release screw which is built into the carrying case moulding.

If you are an experienced user, the functional checks can be done in a few minutes
with no difficulty. If you are a new user you will have to follow the steps below

Check the Data Collection Terminal first (the Psion Workabout), and then use it to
check the SunScan probe. After that, you must install the SunData s/w on your PC.
This will enable you to confirm communications with the probe, and to establish the
data transfer link between the Workabout and your PC. Testing the Beam Fraction
sensor will be left until the tutorial.

If you cannot successfully follow through these procedures, this may be because
some starting condition is no longer set up exactly as it was when the Workabout left
our factory. Do not abandon the tests, but proceed as far as you can through the
successive steps.
