2. GENERAL
Thismanualprovidesdetailed informationaboutthe
functionsand operation of STS600.
STS600,withfunctionsofself-testand
automatic-range-selection,isatypeofintelligentinstrument,
mainlyused fortestingworkingconditionsofautosensors
bymeansofmeasuringvoltage,resistanceandfrequency.
It can alsosimulatesensorstogenerateoutputsignals
(voltage,frequencyand the sign of λO2 sensor).
