Setting Auto Clear
1. From the main display press
MENU
2. Press the
Right Selection
button to select
PEAK OPTIONS MENU
3.
Auto Clear
will be displayed
4. Use the
Left Selection
button to decrease the
Auto Clear
time from 9 seconds to OFF. Use the
Right
Selection
button to increase the
Auto Clear
time from OFF to 9 seconds. Either button, when continuously
pressed, will advance the value in a loop.
5. When the desired value is selected, press
ENTER
to save and exit.
Clearing a Torque Value / RUN MODE
When in RUN MODE, if
Auto Clear
is turned on by selecting a time value, the display screen will automatically
convert back to a zero value after the set amount of seconds.
When in RUN MODE, if
Auto Clear
is turned OFF, the operator must manually clear a torque value from the display:
1. Set the
Auto Clear
function to OFF
2. While in the Main Display screen, conduct a rundown
3. After observing the torque value for the rundown, press
CLEAR
4. The Main Display will convert back to a zero value
Clearing / Entering the Current Torque Value / MEMORY MODE
When in MEMORY MODE
,
if
AUTO CLEAR
is turned ON, the torque value from a rundown will automatically be
entered into memory after the set number of seconds, the display will zero and the ATDA will be ready to record
another torque value. When in MEMORY MODE, if AUTO CLEAR is turned OFF, the user must manually enter the
value into memory or clear the value.
1. Set the
AUTO CLEAR
function to OFF
2. While in the Main Display, conduct a rundown
3. After observing the rundown, the user must decide whether to save or clear the value.
4. If the rundown is determined to be valid, press the
ENTER
button to store the value. The Main Display will
convert back to zero, the next Stored Rundown Number will be displayed and the system will be ready to
record another torque value.
5. If the rundown is determined to be invalid (statistical outlier, operator error during rundown, tool error during
rundown, etc.), press
CLEAR
to delete the value. The Main Display will convert back to zero, the Stored
Rundown Number will remain the same and the system will be ready to record another torque value.
Clearing a Previous Torque Value / MEMORY MODE
To clear a torque value that was previously entered into memory:
1. Use the
Selection Arrow
buttons to scroll to the desired torque reading
2. Press
CLEAR
twice
to clear the value from memory and to subtract it from any statistical calculations. This
will leave a gap in the sequential memory addresses but not affect the number of samples used for statistical
calculations.
Filter (1-2)
The
FILTER FREQUENCY
is a setting used to “screen out” unwanted signals produced by hand and power tools and
which can adversely affect the torque values generated by a transducer when connected to the ATDA. The FILTER
FREQUENCY of the ATDA can be programmed in order to best match the type of tool being used and to provide the
most reliable readings. The values are shown in values from 125 – 2000 Hertz (Hz). A general starting point for
programming is 500 Hz for manual and continuous drive tools and 1000 Hz for discontinuous drive tools, but more
consistent values may be obtained with other settings, depending on tool design, joint characteristics and other
factors.
Setting the Filter Value
1. From the main display press
MENU
2. Press the
Right Selection
button to select PEAK OPTIONS MENU
3. Use the
SELECTION ARROW
buttons to select FILTER
4. Use the
Left Selection button
to decrease the FILTER value. Use the
Right Selection
button to increase
the Filter value. Either button, when continuously pressed, will advance the value in a loop.
