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.
l 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
l 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 16 .
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.
