Instruction Manual – FA Series Force Gauge
The Configuration options are used to set up general functions of the force gauge.
12.1 Measure Speed
This function allows the speed at which the device takes measurements to be adjusted. The measurement
displayed will increase or decrease at a faster or slower rate depending on the speed chosen. The speed allows
the user to obtain more or less readings during a measurement.
The speed should be chosen based on the object being
measured.
SLOW – will allow for slower measurements
FAST – will allow for faster measurements
12.2 Auto-zeroing
Auto-zeroing is used to prevent small amounts of force, resulting from unwanted variables, from affecting
measurements. This process is achieved when undesired measurements (e.g. vibration, movement, etc.) are
picked up by the force gauge, but immediately tared and therefore are not recorded.
Auto-zero uses the d setting to select the range up to
which the force gauge will not record.
The highest the auto-zeroing can be set to is 100 d. This
is 100x the smallest amount normally picked up by the
force gauge (i.e. 1.00N, 0.100kg, .100lb, 1.00oz).
