Units
Unit 1 The unit of measure you choose for this item will be assigned to
the annunciator labeled “lb f” on the front panel. You can also
choose a length unit of measure for torque loadcells. Following is
the list of units of measure:
Pounds F* = pounds force
1000g F = kilograms force
N = Newtons
1000 N = 1000 Newtons
g F = grams force
OZ F = ounces force
Ton F = tons force
Tonne F = tonnes (metric tons) force
Other = Allows you to define a custom unit of force. Choose
what unit of force you want it based on, a multiplier upon which
the custom unit is based and an ASCII label to be used in serial
output. See the example at the bottom of this page.
None = no unit of measure is assigned.
Following is the list of length units of measure you can choose:
foot* = foot
inch = inch
m = meter
cm = centimeter
other = Allows you to define a custom length unit. Choose what
unit of length you want it based on, a multiplier upon which the
custom unit is based and an ASCII label to be used in serial
output.
Unit 2 The unit of measure you choose for this item will be assigned to
the annunciator labeled “kg f” on the front panel. You have the
same choices as shown in Unit 1 above. 1000g F is the default
setting.
Unit 3 The unit of measure you choose for this item will be assigned to
the annunciator labeled “N” on the front panel. You have the
same choices as shown in Unit 1 above. N is the default setting.
Custom Unit Example:
If you want a unit of measure called PLUTOs that is equal to 3.5 pounds of
force you need to enter the ASCII codes for P, L, U, T, and O. (See Appen-
dix A). Enter pounds as the unit of measure the custom unit is based on and
enter 3.5 as the multiplier so that 1 PLUTO will equal 3.5 pounds.
* = default value
