Two filters are available: 
 

Current Reading

 

 Applies to the peak capture rate of the instrument.

 

 

Displayed Reading 

 Applies to the primary reading on the display.  

 
Available settings: 

1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024. 

It is recommended to keep the current reading 

filter at its lowest value for best performance, and the displayed reading filter at its highest value for best 
visual stability. 
 
 

8   SET POINT INDICATORS 

 

8.1 General Information 

Set points are useful for tolerance checking (pass/fail). Two limits, high and low, are specified and stored 
in the non-volatile memory of the instrument and the primary reading is compared to these limits.  
 

8.2 Configuration 

To configure set points, select 

Set Points

 from the menu. The screen appears as follows: 

 

 

 
Either one, two, or none of the set points may be enabled. To toggle between the tension and 
compression directions, press the 

DIRECTION

 key. 

 
If two set points have been enabled, they are displayed in the upper left corner of the display. If only one 
set point has been enabled, the word 

OFF

” 

appears in place of the value. If no set points have been 

enabled, the upper left corner of the display will be blank.  
 
When set points are enabled, the following indicators are shown to the left of the primary reading:
