Advanced Programming
Functions
Advanced Programming Functions allow the Readout to perform special tasks
or invoke custom programming. These tasks interact with the
F
keys to perform
functions related to a specific task or programming operation.
Note:
The Advanced Functions configurable via
each other. The table below provides a summary of the functions available.

Monitor
The Readout can monitor a position to detect drift or
measurement variance. To activate the Monitor mode, position
the Encoder (system) to the desired location and
Momentarily
press the
F3
key. The
MON
symbol will illuminate on the LCD to
indicate Monitor mode is active.
If the Encoder moves outside the programmed tolerance the
LCD reading flashes, indicating a drift condition. When the Encoder is moved
back within the programmed tolerance, the displayed reading will stop flashing.
To exit the monitor mode,
Momentarily
press the
F3
key. The
MON
symbol will
turn off and the currently displayed position will stop flashing.
Monitor can only be activated while in the
. If the
ABS
/
INC
key is depressed, or the normal operational mode is changed (enter
programming mode or sending a data transmission), the Readout will
automatically exit Monitor mode.
NOTE
: When the Monitor mode is enabled AND the
configured for drift monitoring, the output will not become active until the
system has remained
‘out of position’ for at least 2 seconds.
