Checkline MESURgauge - Manual (Page 10)

MESURgauge Software
Falling Edge 1
Stop threshold is lower than start threshold (decreasing
load).
Falling Edge 2
Stop threshold is higher than Start threshold, but the load is
decreasing.
Break Detect
Stop the test when the load decreases to a specified per-
centage of the maximum (peak) reading during the test.
3.4 Reading Mode
Single Readings
When this option is selected, single readings are taken from
the gauge each time READ is clicked, or the DATA button
on the gauge is pressed. This button appears below the
graph in the Acquisition tab when this option is selected.
Continuous Readings
When selected, readings are taken from the gauge at a rate
set in the Readings per Second field.
Readings per Second
This numeric box sets the number of readings per second
that MESURgauge requests data from the gauge in the
“Continuous Readings” mode. Available range is 0.001 to
50 readings per second.
Note: When using a Mitutoyo brand travel display, it is rec-
ommended to limit the readings per second at 4, to prevent
communication errors.
3.5 Invert Load
Check this box to invert the polarity (sign) of the load reading. This
is useful, for example, in tensile strength testing. Tension readings,
which have a negative sign, can be reversed so that the graph
shows increasing values instead of decreasing values.
Note: There is another instance of this check box in the Acquisition
tab. Checking one box automatically checks the other.
