Commands/R

Commands/Responses

esponses

The FGV series of force gauges has the ability to recognize
and respond to various commands from outside peripherals. If
for instance the gauge receives a legitimate command from a
PC, it will respond by sending back the same code indicating
to the PC that the command was recognized. If for example the
command is a request for average data output, it will send the
data and the code NA etc. If the gauge recognizes an error
while it is receiving a command, an error symbol is transmitted
back to the PC indicating the exact nature of the error.

Calibration

Required for Calibration:

1. A secure calibration stand to mount a force gauge upside-

down.

2. The appropriate calibration weight for your force gauge:

Calibration Procedure:

1. Turn POWER off.

2. Mount the force gauge upside-down on the calibration stand.

3. Attach the hook on the sensing shaft of the force gauge.

4. Press and hold the UNIT, PEAK and ZERO switches.

5. Press and release the POWER switch (while continuing to

press UNIT, PEAK and ZERO) until the smaller characters
at the top area of the display show

CAL. Release the UNIT,

PEAK and ZERO switches. The force gauge is now in cali-
bration mode.

6. Press the UNIT switch. The display will show

ZER. The

force gauge is now ready for zero point calibration.

7. Press ZERO to zero point calibrate. Wait 5 seconds. The

display will change to show

PEK. Do not press any other

switches or move the sensing shaft during calibration.

8. Hang the calibration weight on the hook and stabilize; the

larger characters on the display will change. The force gauge
is now ready for full scale calibration.

9. Press the PEAK switch to begin full scale calibration. Do not

press any other keys or touch the weight during calibration.
After approximately 5 seconds the display will show

END.

10. Press the UNIT switch. If calibration was successful, the

display will show

OK momentarily, then automatically power

off. If calibration was unsuccessful, the display will show
ERR. Remove the calibration weight and repeat the proce-
dure from step 6.
