USING THE ATDA IN RUN MODE
RUN MODE can be used to quickly and easily take torque readings using a variety of tools in situations where
storage of data and statistical feedback is not necessary.
Accessing RUN MODE
With the ATDA turned on, observe the Data Storage Mode Status field
(Figure 1).
If RUN is displayed, the ATDA is in
RUN MODE and can then be configured accordingly. If the status reads MEM, then the ATDA is in MEMORY MODE
and will store all following rundown values.
To switch the unit to RUN MODE from MEMORY MODE, press the
RIGHT SELECTION BUTON
(Figure 1)
and
verify that RUN is displayed in the DATA STORAGE MODE field.
USING THE ATDA IN MEMORY MODE
MEMORY MODE can be used to store up to 999 torque readings. Those stored readings can then be reviewed and
statistical analysis can be conducted. The ATDA also provides the capability to print out the data with or without the
associated statistical information.
Accessing MEMORY MODE
With the ATDA turned on, observe the Data Storage Mode Status field
(Figure 1).
If MEM is displayed, the ATDA is
in MEMORY MODE and can then be configured accordingly. If the status reads RUN, then the ATDA is in RUN
MODE and will not store any of the following rundown values.
To switch the unit to MEMORY MODE from RUN MODE, press the
RIGHT SELECTION BUTON
(Figure 1)
and
verify that MEM is displayed in the DATA STORAGE MODE field.
Storing Rundown Torque Values
1. Enter MEMORY MODE
2.
Press the
SELECTION ARROW – UP
button to scroll to memory position 1, which will be indicated by a
001
in the Stored Rundown Number field
(Figure 1)
. The subsequent rundown value will be stored as
#001 and all other rundowns will automatically be stored as sequentially higher numbers.
In MEMORY MODE, torque values are automatically stored when the value is cleared; this time-value is determined
by the time-value set in the Auto-Clear function. If the Auto Clear function is turned off, the user must press
ENTER
after each rundown in order to store the associated torque value.
Reviewing Rundown Torque Values
To review rundown values that have been stored in MEMORY MODE:
1. Enter MEMORY MODE
2. Using the
SELECTION ARROW
buttons, scroll up or down through the list of stored rundown values.
It is possible to scroll to a stored-rundown-number which is above the highest stored value; for example, if 10
rundowns have been stored, it is possible to scroll to stored-rundown-number 15, however all rundown values above
10 will display as zero values
.
