USING TOLERANCE LIMITS
Use tolerances to setup "pass" and "fail"
measurements. You may specify a Limit 1 and a
Limit 2 to create a tolerance band. Measured results
that equal or fall within the range created by the two
limits are considered "pass" results. If the measured
result falls outside the band created by the two
Limits, the result is considered a "fail" result. A "fail"
results displays in RED.

SAVING RESULTS
The DFC feature an internal memory for saving
results for the purpose of calculating and displaying
statistics. You may save up to 99 individual results
in memory.
To save results to memory, you must configure
a softkey with the SAVE function. Press the SAVE
softkey to save the displayed results to memory.
Results saved to memory MUST be of the same type.
You cannot have mixed type results. For example, you
cannot save tension results with COF results. Results
MUST be of the same type.
Results obtained using the TESTS feature are saved in
pairs. For each test, there is a Load and Distance result
(L-D). You cannot save results from different types of
tests. For example, you cannot save results from a
Load Limit test with results from a Break Limit test.
Each load-distance pair of results must have come
from the same test type: Load, Distance or Break.
