3.5.4 Damping
Feature to be used for tensions that vary strongly
In the Damping menu (chapter 3.4.1), you can specify separate damping factors for
each material characteristic. Back in the display mode, press the
button to activate or
deactivate the damping function. This is recommended if the displayed values vary stron-
gly. Press the button to increase the damping value or the button to decrease it.
Changes made to the damping factor using the arrow keys are not saved perma-
nently in the material characteristic. If you disable the damping feature or select
a different material characteristic, the damping factor will be reset to the value
originally saved for the material characteristic.
The factory setting for the damping factor is 5. The average shown on the display is
calculated as follows:
5 old measured 4 new measured values
9
Damping can be changed in 9 steps from 01 = low damping:
1 old measured value + 8 new measured values
9
to 9 = high damping:
8 old measured 1 new measured value
9
3.5.5 Using the alarm function
Requirements:
In the Material Setup menu, make sure that the MIN and MAX limit values have been set
for each material characteristic.
The limit value alarm can be enabled in the main menu.
