Testing Mode
is used for testing grip strength and measuring the maximum
grip force applied. Up to 20 manual testing results and up to 10 automatic Rapid
Exchange Test results (

) for each hand can be saved in memory and
referenced by
Test Number
, which indicates the number of test results stored in
memory for each hand.
Reading Mode
is used to display the test results for each
Test Number
saved
in memory. Test results include the maximum grip force (
MAX
),
DATE
and
TIME
of individual tests as well as the average (
AVG
), standard deviation (
SD
),
and coeffi cient of variation (
CV
) based all tests for the selected
HAND
.
Auto Mode
is used for Rapid Exchange Testing to automatically test each hand
for a specified number of tests at a specified interval between tests without
having to press the
SAVE
button after each test. Up to 10 tests for each hand
at intervals ranging from one to ten seconds can be performed and saved
