SunScan Tutorial

About this tutorial

What you will learn

This tutorial takes you step by step through the processes of setting up and taking

readings with the SunScan probe, and then transferring the data files to a computer

for analysis. It is divided into two parts, each of which should take about 20 to 30

minutes. For the first part you will need access to the Psion Workabout and its User

Guide, or to a portable computer if you are using that instead. The second part

requires access to the SunScan probe, the Beam Fraction Sensor if it is available, and

a computer for collecting and analysing the data files.

Using a portable PC instead of the Workabout

The SunScan can be controlled using either a Psion Workabout or a portable PC

computer. The instructions in this tutorial show the specific keypresses and SunData

screens for the Psion Workabout, but the layout of menus and the operating

principles are broadly similar if you’re using a portable computer instead. Read the

sections with the PC logo in the margin.

♦ Instructions for you to follow are bulleted like this one.

Working with the Workabout

Powering up

If you haven't already done this in the Getting Started section, you should check that

the Workabout has a suitable power supply. This is explained in the introductory

section of its manual, page 3 onwards.

♦ Press the yellow

On/Esc button.

The Workabout screen should become visible.

If not, refer to the Troubleshooting section on page 17 of the Workabout manual.

♦ Check the Workabout’s battery status by pressing Ctrl+Shift+B (hold down the

grey

Ctrl and Shift buttons, then press B).

Navigating around the Workabout

Each time it powers up, the Workabout returns you to the same place in the

application you were last working on. Once you’ve got used to it, this is a very

useful feature, but it can be quite confusing when you first start. You may be

anywhere, in any application, and switching the Workabout off and on again won’t

get you back to the start.

♦ Exit any current application by pressing

∪

∪∪

∪+X. (Hold down ∪

∪∪

∪ then press X)

This will take you to the Psion System

Screen. You should see a display

something like this. (If you can't find the

SunData icon, see Getting Started for

help).
