c. Collected data will remain in memory, regardless if instrument is turned off, until overwritten with new data.
5.0 AVAILABLE OPTIONS FOR ALL INSTRUMENTS:
Note: Add option designator to the end of the part number. (For example, a Model STX-250-E denotes a standard,
STX-250 with the optional RS-232, serial output function installed).
─ A Analog Output option. 0-5 VDC or 4-20 mA with Software-definable ending sequences. Provided with 10’
cable. Data outputted at 40 Hz.
─ E
RS-233 Serial Output option. Provided with 10’ cable to Interface with your
receiving device. Select data sampling rate from 1, 2 or 5 Hz.
─ D
Data Logging Option. Capture and play back data within a user-defined time
window. Select the time window; then select the sampling rate (adjustable from 1-100
Hz). After capturing the data, review the data on the instrument’s display or upload it
using the 10’ serial interface cable.
Instruments can be configured with any or all of these options.
Input Real-Time Serial Data into any Windows® application using any number of software wedge programs, such

7.0 HOW TO CHECK ACCURACY:
To verify the accuracy of your instrument, simulate a tension load on your strapping by suspending known weights
to a sample length of the material. Then verify these values with the instrument, i.e.: if a 100 lbs weight is freely
