5. Nastavení
5.1 Nabíjení baterie
The Walfront T7 includes a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Before initial use, or when the battery indicator shows low charge, connect the tester to a USB power source using the provided USB cable.
- Locate the Micro-USB port on the side of the tester.
- Connect the small end of the USB cable to the tester's Micro-USB port.
- Connect the standard USB end to a USB wall adapter (not included) or a computer's USB port.
- Displej zobrazí stav nabíjení. Počkejte, než se zařízení plně nabije.

5.2 Připojení komponent
Components can be connected using the ZIF (Zero Insertion Force) socket or the provided test wires/pins.
- ZIF Socket: Lift the lever on the ZIF socket, insert the component leads into the desired pins (labeled 1, 2, 3), and then lower the lever to secure the component. Ensure good contact.
- Test Wires/Pins: For larger components or in-circuit testing (with caution), use the provided test wires with clips or pins. Connect the clips/pins to the component leads and then connect the other end of the wires to the corresponding pins (1, 2, 3) on the ZIF socket or dedicated test points if available.

6. Návod k obsluze
6.1 Zapnutí a autotest
Press the yellow 'Start' button to power on the device. The tester will perform a brief self-test and calibration sequence. Ensure no component is connected during the self-test for accurate calibration.

6.2 Testování součástí
After the self-test, the tester is ready for component measurement.
- Příprava komponenty: Ensure the component is discharged (especially capacitors) and its leads are clean.
- Připojení komponenty: Insert the component leads into the ZIF socket (pins 1, 2, 3) or connect via test wires. The tester will automatically detect the component type and pinout.
- Zahájit test: Press the yellow 'Start' button. The tester will perform the measurement.
- Výsledky čtení: The full-color graphic display will show the component type, pin configuration, and measured values (e.g., resistance, capacitance, inductance, transistor gain, diode forward voltagE).
Examples of Component Measurements:
- Transistors (BJT, FET): Identifies NPN/PNP, N-channel/P-channel, measures hFE, V_f, C_gs, etc.
- diody: Identifies diode type, measures forward voltage drop. Supports automatic detection of Zener diodes (0.01-30V).
- Rezistory: Measures resistance value.
- Kondenzátory: Measures capacitance, ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance), and V_loss.
- Induktory: Measures inductance value.
- Thyristors/TRIACs: Identifies type and gate voltage.
- Infrared (IR) Decoding: Point an IR remote control at the IR receiver and press a button to decode the signal and display the waveform.
