Mode <Auto, Manual> Manual: Measurements are captured with the press of the start key.
Measurement sequence is based on the quantity parameter set in the
Quantity field.
Auto: Measurements are automatically captured over specified period which
is based on the measurement time parameters. Pressing the start key
initiates the measurement cycle. The feature utilizes Delay and Trigger
settings.
Delay <Start, Trigger> Start: Force trigger is disabled. The measurement sequence initiates after
press of the Start key. Measurement sequence begins once the Delay Time
value is reached.
Trigger: Both Trigger and Delay Time values must be reached before
measurement sequence begins.
Trigger custom value The amount of Force that needs to be reached before the measurement
sequence begins. (Auto only)
Del. Time custom value The time that must be reached before the measurement sequence begins.
(Auto only)
Quantity custom value Number of measurements that must be captured to end the measurement
cycle. (Manual Only)
Meas. Time custom value Total time of the measurement sequence in the automatic mode.
Threshold <On, Off> Enables and disables measurement threshold monitoring.

3. To begin measurement, align the force gauge shaft to the object measured. If measuring by hand grasp the
device firmly. For compression push the force gauge forward with the attached tip pressing into the object. For
tension wrap the hook tip around the object and pull the force gauge away from the object.
