Operation (continued)
Changing Display Update Time
The display update time works with the sampling rate (1000 hz) to provide an average reading. All samples taken within
the selected update time are averaged (based on 1000 samples/sec) and displayed.
To change display update time:
1. Press the PEAK button while holding down the ON button. The small display will exhibit “dSP” and the main
display will reflect the current setting.
2. Each time the > button is pressed, the main display will scroll through “0.125”, “0.25”, “0.5”, “1.0” and “2.0”
(these correspond with the amount of time in seconds that the display will update).
3. Press the MEMO SET button to store the desired display update time and exit.
Changing Memory Modes
The DFS operates in three distinct memory modes:
• Single (on-demand memory)
• Continuous
• Standard (NOTE: Main display reflects “nonE” in this mode)
To change the memory mode:
1. Press the PEAK button while holding down the ON button; the small display will reflect “dSP”.
2. Press the PEAK button six times; “Log” will appear on the small display and the main display will reflect the current
setting.
3. Each time the > button is pressed, the main display will scroll through “SinG”, “Cont” and “nonE”.
4. Press the MEMO SET button to store the desired memory mode and exit.
NOTE: Data stored in memory can be output to an external device (see “Communication with External Devices” section).
Single and Continuous Memory Modes
The three functions performed when using either the Single or Continuous mode are:
• Storing data
• Recalling data
• Deleting data
Storing Data (Single Memory Mode)
After selecting the “SinG” mode it is possible to send one data reading into memory each time the MEMO SET button is
pressed; the small display will briefly change to an “M”. The “M” indicates that the data reading displayed has been
stored in memory. Up to one hundred data readings can be stored. “FULL” will appear on the main display if memory is
full.
Storing Data (Continuous Memory Mode)
After selecting the “Cont” mode it is possible to enter data readings continuously into memory by pressing the MEMO
SET button once. The small display will reflect a flashing “M” and data readings will be stored in memory as quickly as
the display update rate chosen (reference “Changing Display Update Time” section). Data readings will continually be
entered into memory until the MEMO SET button is pressed a second time or 100 samples have already been entered
(“FULL” will appear briefly on the main display).
Recalling Data (Single and Continuous Memory Mode)
To recall data in the memory press the RECALL button; the last data reading entered and corresponding memory position
will be flashing opposite each other on the main display. Each subsequent push of the RECALL button will scroll through
the data readings in the opposite order as they were entered. Press the RESET button to exit from memory recall.
NOTE: No data readings have been entered if “nonE” shows on the main display after pressing the RECALL button.
