SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
See PROGRAMMING PARAMETERS (Pr24, 25, 26)
Special Function Mode allows the DRO to perform special tasks or custom
programming. These tasks interact with the F keys to perform functions related
to a specific task or programming operation.
Note: The operations configurable via the Special Function Mode are mutually
exclusive of each other. The table below provides a summary of the included
standard operations and each feature is further defined below.
Programming Parameter Pr24 Value Function
0 No Special Functions. No F key Operation
1 F3 = MON F4 = HOLD F2 = SPC delete
2 Go/No Go gauge operation
3 Measurement Accumulation
4 Statistics Mode
Note that when PROGRAMMING PARAMETER Pr24 is set to 0, the F2 to F4 keys are
disabled and have no function. (F1, used only for Offset Addition, is controlled
by Pr30).
SPECIAL FUNCTION 1: MONITOR, HOLD, DELETE
PROGRAMMING PARAMETER Pr24 set to 1
Monitor Mode: F3
The Digital Readout has the ability to monitor a measurement position to detect
position drift or measurement variance. To activate the Monitor Mode, position
the Encoder to the desired location and momentarily press the F3 key. The
MON
MONMON
MON symbol will illuminate on the LCD to indicate that the Monitor mode is
active.
If the Encoder moves outside the programmed tolerance (PR26) the LCD
reading flashes, indicating a drift condition. When the Encoder is moved back
within the programmed tolerance, the displayed reading will stop flashing.
To exit the monitor mode, momentarily press the F3 key. The MON
MONMON
MON symbol will
turn off and the currently displayed position will stop flashing.
Monitor mode can only be activated while in the ABS measuring mode. If the
ABS/INC key is depressed while monitoring, or the normal operational mode is
left, (programming mode, sending a data transmission), the DRO will
automatically exit Monitor mode.
When the monitor mode is enabled AND the programmable output is
configured for drift monitoring, the hardware output will not become active until
the encoder has remained out of position for at least 2 consecutive seconds.
