Step 7. Set Sample Count
The sample count is a user programmable parameter that tells the processor how many machine strokes are
required to establish sample or benchmark load values. The value can range from 0 to 16. A value of 0
invalidates the Monitor Parts mode. You should set Sample Count to a minimum of 1 to enable Monitor Parts
mode.
Note: Each time you change Monitor Parts mode bit from ON to OFF, the sample value is cleared. During
normal operations, Monitor Parts mode is enabled when beginning a process run. If the process varies due to
change in material thickness, for example, it may be necessary to take a new sample.
