Two filters are available:
Current Reading – Applies to the peak capture rate of the instrument.

Available settings: 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024,2048,4096,8192. It is recommended to keep the
current reading filter at its lowest value for best performance, and the displayed reading filter at its highest
value for best visual stability.
6 SET POINTS
6.1 General Information
Set points are useful for tolerance checking (pass/fail), triggering an external device such as a motorized
test stand, or alarm indication in process control applications. Two limits, high and low, are specified and
stored in the non-volatile memory of the instrument and the primary reading is compared to these limits.
The results of the comparisons are indicated through the three outputs provided on the 15-pin connector,
thus providing “under”, “in range”, and “over” signaling. These outputs can be connected to indicators,
buzzers, or relays as required for the application.
6.2 Configuration
To configure set points, select Set Points from the menu. The screen appears as follows:
Either one, two, or none of the set points may be enabled. To toggle between the tension and
compression directions, press the DIRECTION key.
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” appears 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:
