RLP40 basics
Trigger Logic™
Trigger Logic™ (see Section 4, "Trigger Logic™")
is a method that allows the user to view and select
all available mode settings in order to customise a
probe to suit a specific application. Trigger Logic™
is activated by battery insertion and subsequent
stylus deflection. A sequence of stylus deflection
(triggering) is then used to systematically lead
the user through the available choices to allow
selection of the required mode options.
Current probe settings can be reviewed by
simply removing the batteries for a minimum of
5 seconds, and then replacing them to activate
the Trigger Logic™ review sequence.
Modes of operation
The RLP40 probe can be in one of three modes:
Standby mode: where the probe is awaiting a
switch on signal.
Operational mode: activated by one of the switch
on methods described on this page. In this mode
the RLP40 is ready for use.
Configuration mode: where Trigger Logic™ may
be used to configure the following probe settings.
Configurable settings
Switch on/switch off methods
The following switch on/switch off options are
user-configurable.
1. Radio on/Radio off
2. Radio on/Timer off
3. Spin on/Spin off
4. Spin on/Timer off
Enhanced trigger filter
Probes subjected to high levels of vibration or
shock loads may output signals without having
contacted any surface. The enhanced trigger filter
improves the probes resistance to these effects.
When the filter is enabled, a constant 10 ms delay
is introduced to the probe output.
The RLP40 is factory set to trigger filter off.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to reduce the probe
approach speed to allow for the increased stylus
overtravel during the extended time delay.
