2.3.2c Handling the Last Reading for Coupling Control (CONFIG-LAST READING)
The reading display can help users to determine how well the probe is coupled to the measured surface. Solid figures indicate good
coupling, while hollow or blank figures may indicate bad coupling.
1.
In the
MAIN
menu, scroll to the
CONFIG
submenu using the joystick (
). Several functions are displayed on the screen.
2.
Use the joystick (
) to select the
LAST READING
function. The available settings are
HOLD
and
BLANK
. If you set the setting to
HOLD, the last measured value will remain on the screen with outline (“hollow” rather than solid) lettering when the probe is
uncoupled. A current measurement, with the probe coupled, is shown in solid lettering (see Figure x below). If you set the setting to
blank, it will display dashes.

Note:
If you are in the DR mode and the value is set to HOLD, you can still send the value to the file. If the value is set to BLANK, the DMS
Go will leave the location empty.
3.
To change the reading setting, move the joystick (
).
4.
After making your choice, use the joystick (
) to move to another function, or press
HOME
to return to the Main Menu.
