Resolution
:
The resolution specifies the step size of the display. This parameter can be used to stabilise
the reading (eliminate jitter).
E.g. r005: The display changes in steps of 5 (…75…80…85…90…).
Set the desired value of the resolution.
Available values: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 ,50, 100.
Digital filter
:
You can use the digital filter to change the sampling rate (measurement frequency) of the
FMP1.
Set the digital filter to the desired sampling rate.
Available values: 1…5.

PEAK function
:
This function displays positive or negative peak values (
§ 6.3.2).
Set the function to the desired mode.
"P" = positive peak value; "n" = negative peak value;
"d" = function deactivated: Activation by a key or the digital input is not possible.
Tare
(suppress empty weight):
You can suppress the empty weight of the system with the tare parameter. Tare weights are
static loads that are part of the measurement setup and cannot be removed. The device re-
gards these loads as the "system zero".
Set the tare parameter to
and conform the entry.
The current empty weight of the system is saved internally and suppressed in the read-
ing. Empty weight suppression remains in effect even after a restart of the FMP1.
Recommendation! Empty weight < 50% of load cell capacity!
The empty weight of the measurement setup should be less than 50% of the nominal
load rating of the load cells.
Full-scale value
(of the device):
The full-scale value is normally set to the nominal force or load of the connected force sen-
sors or load cells or to match the connected transducer. If the displayed value does not
match the actual load, you can adjust the sensitivity of the analogue input as described be-
low. Alternatively you can adjust the full-scale value so that the actual load is displayed.
Set the tare parameter to and confirm the entry.
Set the desired full-scale value.
Value range: 0000…9999.
Decimal point
:
Use this parameter to determine whether a decimal point is shown on the display and if so, in
which position.
Set the desired position of the decimal point.
Available values: 0…3.
