SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION AND
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
FIGURE 1 OSCOR-5000E WITH MDC-2100
This manual is provided for the operational control of the OSCOR – 5000E unit. It
contains background information and step-by-step instructions on how to perform the
OSCOR functions. It is arranged to learn the functions, and then to learn how to use the
functions together to perform a sweep.
The best method of becoming proficient with the OSCOR is to study the manual and
attend REI training courses. For information about these courses visit www.reiusa.net.
The manual for the OSCOR OPC software is provided in a separate document. It is
highly recommended that the OSCOR unit be understood before attempting to use the
OPC software.
This section of the manual provides an introduction to the OSCOR equipment. The main
operational functions are covered in later sections.
