Fast3

The Fast3 function samples the channel 2 input each time the channel
1 input changes a specified sample increment. If the sampled value of
channel 2 falls outside a specified range, all base channel (first 1, 4 or
8 channels) input values will be stored in a dedicated memory array,
otherwise samples will not be stored.

This sampling process continues until one of the following occurs:

„

The user aborts the process by pressing the QUIT or CANCEL key

„

The user clears memory and restarts the process by pressing the
ENTER key

„

The user successfully completes the process by pressing the
FINISH key

„

The process is automatically completed after 50,000 sets of channel
positions have been stored

Force

The Force function cycles through the display of units of force
measurement as the hot key is repeatedly pressed. When the Force
function is assigned to a soft key, the unit of force measurement will
be displayed on the LCD above the soft key. When the Force function
is assigned to something other than a soft key, the Show DRO Units
function must be enabled in the Display setup screen to display the
units of measure on the DRO.

Units of force measurement include:

„

N: Newtons

„

gf: Grams force

„

lbf: Pounds force
