Parameter Description
Initial Delay The time delay, in seconds, before the averaging sequence commences.
Averaging Time The time duration, in seconds, of the averaging sequence.
Trigger Force
The minimum force required to start the averaging sequence. Toggle between
compression and tension directions by pressing the DIRECTION key. Initial delay
follows the trigger force.
Upon completion of an averaging sequence, several functions can occur, as configured in the Auto
Settings section:
Parameter Description
RS232/USB Output Automatically output the average via RS-232 or USB at the completion of the
averaging sequence.
Mitutoyo Output Automatically output the average via Mitutoyo (Digimatic) at the completion of the
averaging sequence.
Memory Storage Automatically store the average at the completion of the averaging sequence.
Auto Zero Automatically zero the reading at the completion of the averaging sequence. This
re-arms the gauge for a new averaging sequence as if ZERO has been pressed.
Auto Zero Delay
The amount of time before the auto-zero occurs, in seconds:
Available settings: 1-10 sec., in 1 sec. increments, and 10-60 sec., in 5 sec.
increments.
Output Pin Automatically toggle the SP1, SP2, or SP3 pins (active low). If not required, select
“NONE”. To stop a Mark-10 ESM301 test stand when averaging is completed,
specify SP2 if moving in the tension (upwards) direction, or SP1 for the
compression (downwards) direction.
Note: Because the same pins are also used for set points, the stand will stop at
whichever condition occurs first.
After the parameters have been configured and the menu has been exited, press MODE until AVG is
displayed. Then press ZERO. Average mode is now armed, and the averaging sequence will commence
when the trigger force has occurred. The current status of the averaging sequence is displayed below the
primary reading, as follows:
Step Status
Description
1 TRIG WAIT The trigger force has not yet occurred.
2 INIT DLY The initial delay is currently taking place.
3 AVERAGING The gauge is collecting readings. The status will be flashing until averaging has
been completed.
4 AVRG DONE Averaging has been completed. The average force is displayed in the primary
reading.
At the completion of the averaging sequence, the peak values are retained until ZERO is pressed.
Another averaging sequence may be started after ZERO has been pressed (or auto-zeroed). To exit
Average mode, press MODE and select the desired measuring mode.
