2.3 Calibration, Measurements and Printing.
In the
measuring
mode the instrument measures, calibrates or prints the data. Any of
these activities may be selected by depressing one of the keys
MEAS, CAL
or
PRN
.
After pressing
CAL
the offsets of the deceleration sensor, the force sensor or the
pressure sensor are set for zero reference values.
When
MEAS
is pressed, the mode changes into
measurement
. The decelerometer
waits for some time until the conditions for the correct measurements are fulfilled. This
time delay depends on the decelerometer configuration, on the set threshold and on the
way how the measurement will be started. As soon as these conditions are met, the
measurement starts and the results are recorded during the time interval set in the
mode
menu.
The values of deceleration, force or pressure are calculated. The
measured data are filtered in accordance with the filter setting. At the end of
measurement the maximal values of deceleration, force or pressure are displayed, as
well as the serial number of the measurement.
After pressing
PRN
, the paper from the printer is advanced. When pressed longer, the
data is printed as a graph.
