Horizontal bar of signal amplification
The horizontal bar shows the strength of the incoming signal. In the optimal case, the signal
strength should oscillate around the middle position. This can be adjusted with the sensitivity
dial. For the measurement of the amplitude the adjustment of the signal amplification is
decisive.
3.8. Measurement
– Diagram view
When measuring in diagram view, the determined values are converted into a graphic curve
and shown on the display. The time between two successive clock beats (period duration) is
measured and compared with the setpoint value. If the measured time is exactly equal to the
set point, the new point on the graph will be placed next to the previous one - creating a
horizontal line. If, on the other hand, the new beat comes too early, the new point,
corresponding to the time difference from the setpoint, is shown slightly higher than the
previous one. Accordingly, a beat that arrives too late is set lower. The line of dots on the
display will therefore go up or down
.
The diagram shows not only the rate deviation but also other temporal irregularities in the
clockwork
, e.g. Waste error (Repère), defective escapement wheel teeth etc.
