ZEROING DONE
The transducer must not get in contact with the warp, unless the
zeroing procedure is completed.
In order to zero correctly the measurement, keep the TSS transducer
parallel to the plane defined by the wires of the warp, so that the
probe [9] of the measuring element does not get in contact with any
object that may apply unwanted loads..
Keep pressed the
C
pushbutton, until the Display [2] will indicate
ZEROING
followed by a number ranging from
0
to
9
, to indicate the
proceeding of the zeroing of the analogue signal and of the displayed
value.
At the end of the zeroing procedure the display will show
ZEROING
DONE
, getting back to the normal measurement modality.
The zeroing procedure may take up to 10 sec to be completed.
The zeroed measurement is defined as tare =
TARE
E
Tare
Displays the zeroed measurement (
TARE
).
▲

arrow
Peak Max
Instrument displays the maximum peak value measured since the last
zeroing performed on this measurement or since the instrument has
been powered.
▼

arrow
Peak Min
Instrument displays the minimum peak value measured since the last
zeroing performed on this measurement or since the instrument has
been powered.

Peak Max CLEAR
Used to clear the maximum peak value measured by the instrument.
▼
+
E
Peak Min CLEAR
Used to clear the minimum peak value measured by the instrument..
NOTE
: when the instrument is powered off all the
TARE
,
PEAK MAX
and
PEAK MIN
measures are lost.
To convert the analog output signal into engineering units, it is suggested to use the measurements
supplied by the instrument, to define the needed conversion coefficients for the external data
acquisition system.
