3.3.3 Switching on Damping Mode
The MST is equipped with an electronic damping which ensures steady readings when
tension fluctuates. This is achieved by averaging the measured values at the set update
rate. Before switching on the damping mode, it is recommended that you measure the
first values without damping enabled.
Requirements:
- Process material inserted as described in Chapter 3.3.
- The DISPLAY has shown the first tension values.
To switch on damping:
- Press the DAMP key.
The display shows the set damping factor.
- Release the DAMP key.
The DISPLAY shows
2 2 1.

To switch off damping:
- Press the DAMP key 3.

3.3.4 Changing the Damping Factor
7 old values + 9 new values
16
The tension meter is factory preset to a damping factor of 07. The tension values are
thereby averaged for the display in the following way:
1 old value +15 new values
16
15 old values + 1 new value
16
The damping factor can be modified in 15 steps from 01 = low damping:
to 15 = high damping
Requirement:
- Tension meter switched on as described in Chapter 3.2.1.
To change the damping factor:
- Press and hold the DAMP key.
The display shows the set damping factor.
You can now increase the damping factor with the MEM key and decrease it with the
RECALL key.
- Release the DAMP key.
The tension meter switches back to measuring mode.
The selected damping factor remains stored in the MST memory even after the
instrument is switched off.
