Analyzer Q1
Witschi Electronic Ltd
The information line displays the indication
check
until the instrument has determined the
measurement parameters.
As soon as the measurement proper starts, the indication
Run
appears on the information line and a
countdown counter indicates the remaining measurement time. The start of the measurement
process is also audibly signalled.
The result is displayed once the measurement time has elapsed. The measurement is continuously
performed as long as an exploitable signal is available. In the case of longer measurement times,
result updates are audibly signalled.
A running measurement can be interrupted and restarted by briefly pressing the
start/stop
key.
If the watch signal lies outside of the measurement range (± 325 s/d) or is so distorted that an
evaluation is not possible, the message
out of range
or
unstable
appears on the information line.
If the signal is no longer available, the indication
No Signal
appears and the instrument jumps to the
main menu after a while.
Caution!
If a watch is supplied from the Analyzer Q1, it is not possible to test another watch
with the sensor.

Result Display
In
Numeric
mode, the current results are displayed in numerical and graphical analogue form.
The actual rate deviation is displayed with large size characters in the upper left-hand part of the
result field at the end of the measurement time.
The deviation of the quartz frequency is also displayed for informational purpose with smaller
characters in the upper right-hand part of the result field. (In the case of watches with inhibition
compensation, the deviation of the quartz frequency does not correspond to the actual rate
deviation).
The instantaneous rate deviation also appears in graphical form on a logarithmic scale. The
instantaneous value is always measured with the shortest possible measurement time (2 s in most
cases), irrespective of the selected measurement time.
Additional results from pulse analysis that are displayed in the case of analogue watches are
described in chapter 7.
