Cooper Instruments & Systems M5-1000 High Capacity Digital Force Gage - Manual (Page 12)

CF 183 9 32-1113 REV 2 1010
If two set points have been enabled, they are displayed in the upper left corner of the display. If only one set
point has been enabled, the word “OFF” will appear in place of the value. If no set points have been enabled,
the upper left corner of the display will be blank.
When set points are enabled, the following indicators are shown to the left of the primary reading:

– the displayed value is greater than the upper
force limit (NO GO HIGH)
– the displayed value is between the limits (GO)
b
– the displayed value is less than the lower force
limit (NO GO LOW)
Set point indicators and outputs reference the displayed reading, not necessarily the current live load.

Interactions with External Trigger Mode
Even if set points have been enabled, they are inactive when the gauge is in External Trigger mode.
7.3 Using Set Points to Control Mark-10 Motorized Test Stands
When using set points to stop/cycle crosshead motion on a motorized test stand, both set points must be
enabled, and each set point must be set to opposite measurement directions. For example, if a test requires
the test stand to stop at 20 lb of compression force, set the upper set point to 20 lb compression, and the lower
set point to a tension value such as 10 lb, or any other value in the tension compression that will not be
triggered during the course of the test.
8 DATA MEMORY AND STATISTICS
Series 5 gauges have storage capacity of 1,000 data points. Readings may be stored, viewed, and output to an
external device. Individual, or all, data points may be deleted. Statistics are calculated for the data presently in
memory.
To enable memory storage, select DATA Key from the menu, then scroll to Memory Storage and press
ENTER. Then exit the menu. In the home screen, the data record number 0000 will appear below the primary
reading. Press DATA at any time to save the displayed reading. The record number will increment each time
DATA is pressed.
To view, edit, and output stored readings and statistics, select Memory from the menu. The screen appears as
follows:
8.1 View Data
All the saved data points may be viewed. The record number is displayed, along with the corresponding value
and presently set unit of measurement. Any readings may be deleted individually. To do so, scroll to the desired
reading and press DELETE. The letter “D” will appear to the left of the record number, indicating that the gauge
is in Delete mode, as follows:
