12. Setting the Measurement Interval and Mode-S Level
The Mode-S feature is designed to improve the measurement stability of samples that
may have conventionally resulted in fluctuating readings.
①
Turn on the power (24V DC) according to the instructions on page 24, "9.Power
Supply"
The unit will display the real-time measurements in Brix(%).
②
Hold down the
key for one second.
After [t] is displayed, press the
key once to display [0].
Then, press the
key.
"c - #" will appear, wherein "#" denotes a number from 1 to 5.
③
Use the
and
keys to select an interval.
Press the
key to confirm the selection. "d - #" will appear, wherein "#" denotes a
number from 1 to 5.
④
Use the
and
keys to select a Mode-S level.
Press the
key to confirm the selection, and [0] will appear.
⑤
Each time the
key is pressed, the menu item displayed switches in the order of: [1],
[2], [3], [4], [5], and Brix(%). Select Brix(%).
●
Measurement interval: " c - # "
There are 5 options of intervals at which the unit takes measurements. The factory
default is the shortest interval "c-1" wherein measurements are taken every approx.
one second.
The other options indicate longer intervals; "c-2" is twice as slow as "c-1," "c-3" three
times as slow, and so forth. The measurement interval setting is reflected on the data
transmission rate.
●
Mode-S level: " d - # "
The Mode-S feature is designed to improve the measurement stability of samples
that may have conventionally resulted in fluctuating readings.
There are 5 levels, wherein the larger the number is, the better the stability. For
samples that give stable readings, the factory default level 1 is sufficient. Emulsions
or opaque samples and/or temperature fluctuations may cause measurements to
become unstable. Try adjusting the Mode-S level when this occurs.
