This feature is used to ‘freeze’ the main-display when
an external signal is received. The AFG can be
configured to freeze when going either low 1-0 (LO) or
high 0-1 (HI). This is particularly useful for applica-
tions where a significant event occurs which must be
captured (e.g. force required for switch closure). To
clear the main menu display press
RESET .
To configure this function, press and hold the MENU
key until page 1 of the main menu appears. Press
DOWN to move the arrow cursor to FREEZE and
press the ENTER key.
Select the desired LO or HI function using UP or
DOWN arrow keys and press ENTER to select. When
set the submenu will display FREEZE ON . To disable
the FREEZE function, press ENTER . FREEZE OFF
will now be displayed. Press ESC to return to main
menu page 1.
A signal must be provided to the AFG through pins 7
and 10. See specifications.
1st Peak facility – this is used to detect the force at
which a sample breaks but is not necessarily the
maximum force (e.g. detecting the force at which a
tablet first begins to crack) or in capturing yield point
of a material.
When this feature is set to ON , two additional func-
tions can be selected using the MAX key from the
main display.
