DIGITS VIEW
DIGITS
The Digits view is a basic digital look and feel. The larger digits make it much easier
for the operator to monitor the measurements. The Limits Bar has also been added
to the Digits view to provide the user with yet another visual tool for easily monitoring
if the fastener is inside specific tolerances.
The following is a list of the viewable features on the display:
A) Stability of Reading Indicator – Indicates the stability of the return echo on a
scale of 1 to 6 – the solid bars displayed in the figure above indicate a repeatable
signal. If the
MAX II is displaying a reading from memory, the repeatability
indicator will be replaced by the text “MEM” .
B) Battery life indicator – Fully charged batteries will appear filled in solid. Note:
The diagram shows the batteries at approximately 50%.
C) Quantity – Displays the current measurement quantity (currently Elongation).
D) Limits Bar – The limits bar is used to verify if the bolt being fastened is in inside
of a specific set of tolerances. The alarm or tolerance values are shown at (F).
When the bolt is in tolerance, the limit bar will be filled and inside the
corresponding limits.
E) Units Label - Displays the current quantity of measurement.
F) Alarm (Tolerance) Values – Displays the minimum and maximum alarm values
or tolerances.
G) Length Measurement – Digital readout of quantity (English or metric).
H) Hot Menus - Each of the fields located under the waveform display are called the
Hot Menu Fields . These fields allow quick control of some of the fine
adjustments needed to control the display settings, measurement modes, and
group memory control. All of these fields can be adjusted without having to
