To activate the Totalize function, press the TOT key. The Totalize
function allows the calibrator to function as a counter to measure very
slow digital outputs.
The Totalize function has two possible states: HOLDING and COUNTING.
When the Totalize function is first selected, it will be in the Holding
state.
In the Holding state, transitions on the frequency input terminals are
ignored and the current count is held in the display. To switch between
Holding and Counting states, press the TOT key again.
In the Counting state, the calibrator counts up once for each positive
transition on the frequency input terminals. To stop the counting and
hold the current count in the display, press the TOT key again.
Each time the TOT key is pressed, the Totalize function switches
between the Counting and Holding states.
The counter can be cleared to zero while in the Holding state by
pressing the CE key. The clear is prevented while the counter is
counting.
While in Totalize mode, the output value CANNOT be changed either by
entering a new value or by the INC/DEC keys. The last entered output
value is maintained once the Totalize mode is entered. Totalize mode
is terminated when either a new Input or Output function is selected.
