Auxiliary Functions
Power On/Off
Switches counter power on/off. At power up a self-test is
made and the counter is set to default settings.
Default Settings,
Function:
FREQ A
Measuring-Time:
0.2 s
Trigger-Level Offset:
AUTO
Reset
The RESET-button has three functions:
RESET
Starts a new measurement. The settings
are not changed.
LOCAL
Makes the counter go to LOCAL operat
ion, when in remote operation (unless Local
Lock-Out is programmed).
START/STOP
Opens/closes the gate in TOTALIZE A or B
manual mode.
Measuring-Time
A measuring-time of 0.2 s, 1 s, 10 s or SINGLE can be
selected.
NOTE: When SINGLE is selected together with PE-
RIOD, or WIDTH, the result is a single cycle
measurement, but SINGLE together with FRE-
QUENCY or RPM results in a fixed 3 ms Meas-
uring-time.
Measuring Rate:
Approx. 5 measurements/s.
Display Time:
Normally the display time equals the set
Measuring-time. When SINGLE is selected, a display
time of 0.1 seconds is used.
Displ Hold/Store A
0
The DISPL HOLD/STORE A
0
button has two functions:
DISPL HOLD
The result of the current measurement will
be frozen on the display. A new measurement starts
when RESET button is pressed.
STORE A
0
This function is active in FREQ A measure-
ments only. When the button is pressed for > 1 s, the re-
sult on the display is stored as the constant A
0
, which is
used for the calculation of frequency difference (A-A
0
)
and ratio (A/A
0
).
Blank Digits
This function blanks any number of least significant dig-
its on the display, in order to hide unstable digits on the
display.
