It's a little out-of-focus but you should still be able to make out the labels indicating pre-amp and solar cell: Here are the indicator LED's: Continuing downward, we come to the selectors for the various tests you can run: And a sample of some of the "cheat sheet" diagrams for each test:  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???" Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 04-12-2003 06:01 PM                     UPDATE So I tried this thing out when I was in Freeport and guess what? I found it to be VERY helpful in getting the best azimuth adjustment. Using just the o'scope I got what looked like a pretty good "slash line" but the SA-150 was unimpressed and, after a lot of tweaking, I was able to get a razor-like result on the o'scope monitor. It's such a portable thing that I will now carry it on all jobs. I still prefer using the 'scope for everything else.  |  IP: Logged Scott Manley Film Handler Posts: 59 From: Austin, TX USA Registered: May 2001 posted 04-14-2003 11:31 AM                     SoManny.......did you purchase yours from Cinema Dealer.com?  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

I found it in the company's tool kit when I took over the maintenance.  |  IP: Logged
