12.4.1 Print cycle factor
To adapt data recording to the speed of modification at individual measuring
points a print cycle factor can be programmed to between 00 and 99; this will
cause certain measuring points to be output less frequently or not at all (see
Manual 6.10.6). This print cycle factor is by default completely disabled or set to
01 for all measuring points; i.e. all activated measuring points are output in each
cycle. If some other factor e.g. 10 is entered the measuring point in question will
only be output every 10th cycle; if 00 is entered it will not be output at all. With
data saving similarly it is possible to suppress measured values that are unnec-
essary and thus save on memory capacity.
Enter print cycle factor (see 10.5) in function:

12.4.2 Minimum sensor power supply
As with all ALMEMO
®
devices the sensor supply voltage on the 5690-2M is
monitored. The sensor supply voltage is displayed in the
Power supply menu
(see 12.7). Some sensors, to operate properly, need their own supply voltage
and this must be provided by a rechargeable battery or via a mains unit. To pre-
vent measuring errors the minimum sensor voltage needed by each individual
sensor can be entered in the
Special functions menu
. If the voltage drops
below this value the measured value will be treated as a sensor breakage (dis-
play ´L´ flashes) .
To enter the minimum sensor supply voltage :
Sensor voltage, minimum : 12.0 V
To disable voltage monitoring, to delete the value :
<CLR>
Sensor voltage, minimum : ---- V
