8.1 Real Time (RT)
The primary reading corresponds to the live measured reading.
8.2 Peak Compression (PC)
The primary reading corresponds to the peak compression reading observed. If the actual force
decreases from the peak value, the peak will still be retained in the primary reading area of the display.
Pressing ZERO will reset the value.
8.3 Peak Tension / Static Coefficient of Friction (PT)
This is the same as Peak Compression, but for tension readings. If the COF unit is selected, the reading
in this mode represents the static coefficient of friction.
Note: The static COF is always displayed as the peak tension value in the upper right corner of the
display.
8.4 Average Mode / Kinetic Coefficient of Friction (AVG)
Average mode is used to obtain an average
force reading over a specified period of time.
This reading also represents the kinetic
coefficient of friction, if the COF unit is selected.
Applications include measurement of peel force,
COF, muscle strength, frictional force, and other
tests requiring time-averaged readings.
Before the parameters of Average Mode can be
configured, it must be enabled. To do so, select
Average Mode from the menu, scroll to
Enabled and press ENTER. The display
appears as follows:
Then, scroll to Settings and press ENTER to configure the parameters. The parameters are as follows:
