The first user defined value ( = the first measuring point) is always the start value of the
ramp. The last measuring point is determined as the end value of the user defined value
range. As in our example, to reach the values D = 10, 20, 30, ... , 100 [s -1 ] a starting value
of 10 [ s-1 ] is used with increments of 10, therefore, 10 measuring points is required. To
check: 100-10/(10-1) = 10.
Number of Measurement Points = ((End Value - Start Value)/Pre-set Value - 1)
After selection of the menu level “Edit Program”, the user will be prompted to select the
program.
Select program
1) Prog xyz
2) Test
3) NEW
Available programs
contain a name
All free (non-defined)
programs are marked NEW
All free programs are initially marked as NEW. To avoid overwriting existing programs,
select NEW as a program to be edited and select a measuring system. After the selection of
the program with the OK key, you will be requested to select a measuring system.
Attention: Any defined program MUST ALWAYS be executed with the same measuring
system, otherwise improper results will be calculated.
Select Meas. system:
1) C25-1/30

2) C25-2/30
3) C50-1/30

After selecting the measurement system, enter the number of steps (number of ramp and
straight line functions). The number of steps can range from 1 to a maximum of 10 steps.
In this example, we need three steps, so the number “01” is changed to “03” - (see Section
VI.4: Input of Numerical Values and Alphnumeric Texts ). The message “Range error” will
appear if <1 or >10 is entered.
Nr of steps: 03
Input number of
steps 1 - 10. This
example is 03.
After entering the number of steps, input the type of measurement.
Select Input:
-D[1/s]
-n[rpm]
-Tau[Pa]
