Figure 51. Run Configuration & Read Over Time
RUN CONFIGURATION: READ MODE
You may choose whether to read and present data averaged over a selectable time
period (
TIME ) or averaged for each piece read ( PIECE ) by pressing the RIGHT ARROW
button.
If PIECE is selected, the system waits until the product is sensed, collects data until the
product is no longer sensed, and then transmits average data , in units selected, for all
the readings taken on the piece. The maximum speed at which the sensor can measure
in piece mode is 1 per second. This mode is appropriate for individually-measured
products such as cookies or crackers.
If TIME is selected, the SpectraTrend HT continuously measures and reports data over
specific periods of time, transmitting average data , in units selected, for the selected
time interval. Gaps in product when in time mode are ignored by the sensor. This mode
is appropriate for products measured in piles or batches, such as potato chips or
powders.
In TIME MODE , all sets of results for a product are used in the average result for the
time period defined as the READ TIME . The default read time is 15 seconds.
