When the Fast3 function is successfully completed, the stored sets of
channel input values are processed by the ND 2100G dimension
formulas in the order that they were collected. The formula results are
then stored in the ND 2100G database. During the processing of
formulas, a percentage of completion will be displayed. Since up to
50,000 sets of channel input values can be collected and processed by
formulas, considerable time could be required to complete the
processing.
To access the Fast3 function:
U Press the MENU... soft key
U Press the EXTRA soft key
U Use the arrow cursor keys to highlight Fast3
U Press the ENTER key
You will then be prompted to:
U Enter a Y axis (channel 2) upper limit
U Enter a Y axis (channel 2) lower limit
U Enter an X axis (channel 1) capture increment
U Enter an X axis (channel 1) resolution factor (this is a multiplier of
scale resolution)
Once these parameters are entered, the Fast3 function will begin to
read the input values for channels 1 and 2.
Setup menu functions
ND 2100G operating parameters and formulas that define dimension
values are entered into the system from Setup menu screens.
Since the values processed by formulas after Fast3 data
collection are contained in memory storage, no user
interaction is possible. For this reason functions that
require user interaction such as the Ask function must be
avoided in formulas when the Fast3 Extra menu function
is used.
If any key is pressed while the ND 2100G is processing
formulas, the remaining channel input values will be
deleted from memory and formula processing will be
aborted.
