1.6.15 STORE KEY
This key may have 2 functions:
1/ Display hold. A reverse video appears at the top right-hand side of the screen. This is cancelled by pressing the
key again to reactivate the display.
All functions remain active during Hold mode. Frozen measurements may therefore be: converted from mm to inch, pre-
set, printed, etc. Min/max, Scanning and channel functions automatically disable the hold function.
The Hold function is selected by choosing 0 for the number of channel for Store (see below); this will not reinitialise the
Store memory.
2/ Storing of measurements. The measured value is stored each time the Store key is pressed. These stored values are
used for the unit's statistical functions (refer to Section 1.6.9). Stored values may also be output to the RS232/Centronics
ports. Up to 6000 values can be stored. These 6000 values are divided by the number of channels allocated for sto-
rage (Set Up then Store then 5). For example, if 3 channels are used for storage, a total of 6000/3 = 2000 values can
be stored for channels 1 to 3. If only one channel is allocated, 6000 can be stored on channel 1.
Before storing it is necessary to choose the required number of channels with Set Up then Store then menu 5. Changing
this number will reset the store memory.
Storing mode is represented by an n at the bottom of the display, followed by the number of stored values for the dis-
played channel. When in control chart mode, sub-group m is displayed, followed by number n of stored elements in last
sub-group.
If the number of stored values reaches the maximum (6000/number of channels), each new stored value will be recor-
ded but will erase the first entered value. Thus, stored value No 1 is lost, No 2 becomes No 1, and so on.
It is also possible to configure the external contact (foot pedal) to HOLD the display or STORE the measured value.
Choice of Store key function:
1/ press 2/ then
Following will be displayed:
1: 1st choice will display the last 8 stored values, preceded by their store num-
ber (from 1 to N).
2: 2nd choice erases one or more values defined by their number. If, for
example, 102 values are stored and you wish to erase the 88th value, this is
automatically replaced by the 89th, the 90th takes the place of the 89th, etc.,
and as a result there will be a total of only 101 stored values. If there are seve-
ral corrections to make, it is advisable to start from the highest value and work
downwards.
3: 3rd choice erases stored values for the current channel.
4: 4th choice erase stored values for all channels.
5: 5th choice specifies the number of channels for the store function.
N = O: Hold function is active.
