Data Memory (optional)
The
QuaNix
®
Keyless
can optionally be supplied with data memory, offer-
ing the following features:
a) Storage of up to 4000 readings
b) Creation of up to 999 blocks
c) Display of statistics per block
d) Deletion of the last reading or the entire memory
e) Processing of the readings using the
QuaNix
®
-software
Memory Mode
Each time the gauge is switched on by the removal of the miniature probe,
the
QuaNix
®
Keyless
is in the normal measuring mode. No readings are
stored in this mode. The memory mode is activated by pushing the slide on
the left side upward for about 1 second. Readings taken in the memory
mode are indicated by a double beep. Between two measurements the dis-
play shows alternating the last reading and the number of this reading in the
memory with a leading "N" (e.g. 256 µm alternating with N 0044 means, the
last reading is 256 µm and is stored as 44th reading).
If no readings are stored the display shows alternating "b001" and "bloc".
This means all readings are automatically stored in block 1.
To switch back to the normal measuring mode push the slide up again for
about 1 second. Note: If the slide is pushed up for more than 3 seconds, a
new block is created.
Up to 4000 readings can be stored. When no space is left in the memory
the display shows "End" for about 6 seconds. Then the last reading and its
number are displayed alternatingly.
Block Segmentation in the Memory Mode
The readings can be stored in different blocks (up to 999) to distinguish be-
tween different measuring tasks. A new block can be created by pushing up
the slide for about 3 seconds. The display shows "bloc", alternating with the
number of the new block (e.g. "b002" for block No. 2) – accompanied by a
beep. All new blocks are created following this procedure. The size of the
blocks can vary as they are determined by the user only. When 999 blocks
are created and a new one shall be set up, the display shows "End" for
about 6 seconds and a beep sounds repeatedly.

Display of Statistics
In the last active block the following statistical values can be displayed:
average, maximum, minimum and standard deviation.
The gauge must be switched on and set to the memory mode. The statisti-
cal values can be called by pulling down the slide repeatedly.
When pulling down the slide for about 1 second "Ae" (= average ), the aver-
age value of all readings in the block and the unit (µm, mm or mil) are dis-
played, alternating with "N" and the number of readings stored in the block
(Example: Ae 265 µm alternating with N 0033 means, the average is 265
µm and was calculated from 33 readings).
Each time the slide is pulled again maximum (sign
∩
), minimum (sign
∪
)
and the standard deviation (sign d) is displayed subsequently.
The statistic mode can be left anytime by taking a new reading with the
miniature probe.
Deleting Stored Readings or Blocks
Data stored in the
QuaNix
®
Keyless
can be deleted individually or as a
whole. The gauge must be in the memory mode. The slide must be pulled
down for about 3 seconds. This allows to delete the last value directly, e.g.
because it was taken in error and it would falsify the statistics.
When all readings in a block are deleted, the next deleting process will de-
lete the empty block, followed by the display of the last reading of the previ-
ous block.
The entire memory content can be deleted by holding the slide pulled down
for another 3 seconds after the last reading was deleted. The display shows
alternating "dEL" and "ALL", accompanied by a beep. If the slide is not re-
leased within the 3 seconds, the entire memory is deleted.
The entire memory can also be deleted using the optionally available
Qua-
Nix
®
–software or our mini-printer
PT 7
.
Processing of Stored Readings
For further processing of the readings in a PC we can supply the
QuaNix
®
-
software. Fast and direct evaluation can also be performed with our mini-
printer
PT 7
.
For further information regarding data evaluation please refer to the instruc-
tion manuals of the software or the mini-printer respectively.
