4. The unit is now in the Configuration mode. To see the rest of the softkeys
available in this mode, press the Right Arrow key. All the Config softkeys are
shown below.
The softkeys in the Configuration mode are Wire, Setup, Reso, Comm, Mode, Units,
Power, ChPwd, and Reset. These are described below:
Wire Press this softkey and the wire selection screen is displayed. Choose an
existing wire to change its defining characteristics.
You have the choice of changing the Range, which is used to set the
check-tensioning function, or the Rating, which is the maximum rating of
the cable.
Range - Use this item to set the parameters for the check tensioning
display. Follow the prompts to set the following:
Lower tension limit - This is the lowest acceptable force
Upper tension limit - This is the highest acceptable force
Units - Unit of measure used in defining the tension limit
Rating - Press this softkey and you are prompted to set the ultimate rating
for the cable being used and the unit of measure for that rating.
Setup Press the Setup softkey to view the Setup softkeys. This is the same as
the Setup softkey described inTop level softkeys
on page 13 .
Reso Press the Reso softkey and you are prompted to enter a display, or count-
by, resolution. Choose from Low, Medium or High.
Low resolution provides the best stability and makes the display easiest to
read. High resolution provides the finest graduations, but sees greater drift
from wire creep and non-repeatability. If the reading is decreasing over
time or differing between measurements on the same line, lowering the
resolution will reduce these effects.
Comm Communication output not supported at this time in the Quick-Check
Mode Press this softkey to set the display mode on power up. Choices are Last*,
Temp, Check, Avg, Peak, and Force. Use the Sel keys to display your
choice and press Enter to accept it.
Units Press this softkey to set the following:
Unit of measure on power up - Choices are Last*, C2, C1, N, kgf, and
lbf. Use the Sel keys to display your choice and press Enter to accept it.
C2 and C1 are custom units. If you choose to have custom units, you are
prompted to enter the number of pounds in each custom unit. The Quick-
Check will then automatically calculate correct display for the applied
force.
