Remote input function - terminals 7 and 8 at the rear of the instrument are the
remote input terminals. When these pins are short circuited, via a pushbutton
or keyswitch the instrument will perform the selected remote input function. A
message will flash to indicate which function has been selected when the
remote input pins are short circuited. Some remote input and
P
button
operations are also controlled by the
SPFN ChnI
function, the table below
each function below shows the effect of each setting on the operation. The
remote input functions are as follows:
NONE
- no remote function required.
P.HLd
- peak hold. The display will show the peak value only whilst the remote
input pins are short circuited.

R.INP
set to
P.HLd
SCAN
Scans all channels e.g. when set to
SCAN
if
R.INP
is set to
P.HLd
(peak hold) then when the remote input is activated the
inputs will be scanned and the peak hold will operate on the
channel with the highest reading. If the channel number is being
displayed (see
dISP unit
function) then the channel number
for the input with the highest peak reading will be seen on the
display.
HIGH
Operates in the same manner as
SCAN
above but does not
show the channel number, instead shows the letter
H
if the
dISP unit
function is set to show a channel number.
Lo
Operates on the lowest of the inputs at the time e.g. when set to
Lo
if
R.INP
is set to
P.HLd
(peak hold) then when the remote
input is activated the inputs will be scanned and the lowest of all
the inputs will be displayed. From then on the display will only
change if this low channel value increases i.e. goes more
positive i.e. the operation is allowing a peak hold of the channel
with the lowest value at the time the remote input was activated.
The letter
L
will be displayed if the
dISP unit
function is set
to show a channel number.
AUGE
Operates on the average of the inputs at the time when set to
AUGE
if
R.INP
is set to
P.HLd
(peak hold) then when the
remote input is activated the inputs will be scanned and the
average displayed, from then on the display will show the peak
average reading until the remote input is released. The letter
A
will be displayed if the
dISP unit
function is set to show a
channel number.
dIFF
Operates on the difference between the channels e.g. when set
to
dIFF
if
R.INP
is set to
P.HLd
(peak hold) then when the
remote input is activated the inputs will be scanned and the
largest difference between any two channels will be displayed,
from then on the display will show the maximum difference
between any two channels until the remote input is released.
The letter
d
will be displayed if the
dISP unit
function is set
to show a channel number.
