Announces the measured value of stiffness (MN/m),

(displayed in ID window). The measured value of stiffness is

displayed simultaneously in the STIFFNESS window.

Indicates that the current measurement was aborted due to the

sensors being overloaded. The word "SENS" is displayed in the

ID/TARGET window and the word "OvLOAD"is displayed in the

STIFFNESS window. This can be caused by a too soft material,

a too stiff material or the foot being seated improperly. When

displayed, the current measurement must be repeated.

Announces the standard deviation of all 25 frequency

dependent stiffness measurements relative to the measured

(average) value of stiffness (displayed in ID/TARGET window) at

the end of the current measurement. The standard deviation is

displayed simultaneously in the STIFFNESS window.

Indicates that the GeoGauge is measuring ambient noise

(displayed in ID/TARGET window). The noise measurement

takes about 10 seconds after depressing the MEAS button.

Nothing is displayed simultaneously in the STIFFNESS window.

Indicates that the GeoGauge is taking stiffness data over

25 frequencies between 100 and 196 Hz (displayed in ID/

TARGET window). This follows the noise measurement and

takes about 55 seconds. Nothing is displayed simultaneously in

the STIFFNESS window.

Announces the display of the Signal Noise Ratio for the current

measurement (displayed in ID/TARGET window) at the end

of the current measurement. The Signal Noise Ratio, in dB, is

displayed simultaneously in the STIFFNESS window.

This message indicates the ready mode and the stiffness units

(displayed in ID/TARGET window). The GeoGauge is ready to

take the next measurement. The Stiffness window shows the

value of the last measurement, in SI units (MN/n) or English (Eg)

units (klbf/in).

Indicates that the current measurement value has already been

stored in the memory. The word "AlrE"" is displayed in the

ID/TARGET window and the word "StorEd"is displayed in the

STIFFNESS window. If you don't know if the last measurement

has been stored, the GeoGauge will tell you.
