3.3 RUN Mode
After the INITIALIZE mode finishes, the instrument enters the RUN mode, its normal
mode of operation.
3.3.1 Display
Model SC3004 and upper
line of SC1000, SC2000,
SC2001
The display will show a channel number on the far left, followed by the channel’s oper-
ation messages.
For example, a Strain Gage amplifier channel will use the format below:
1
•
00000. PSIG
"
where:
• Channel number: “1” is the channel number.
• Value type: The next character indicates the nature of the following value.
A blank character indicates the display is being continuously updated by “tracking”
the input signal to the channel.
A “
•" character indicates the peak value (highest value seen since the [CLEAR]
button was last pressed).
A “
–" character indicates the valley value (lowest value seen since the [CLEAR]
button was last pressed).
• Data value: “00000.” displays the value from the transducer in engineering units.
• Units label: “PSIG” indicates the engineering units being used (up to 4 charac-
ters).
• Tare indicator: A “
"“ symbol indicates tare is off; a “Ë“ symbol indicates tare is on.
Lower Line of SC1000,
SC2000, SC2001
The contents of the display’s lower line is selected with the “
DISPLAY MENU
->
LOWER MODE
”
menu item as either displaying a channel or indicating the status of Limits. See “Indi-
cator Lights” on page 21.
3.3.2 [VALUE] button
After the channel number, the next characters indicate which data value for the dis-
played channel is shown. There are three (possibly four) data values available from
each channel:
• (blank), tracking data value
•“
•", peak data value, (highest value since the peak/valley detector was cleared)
•“
–", valley data value, (lowest value since the peak/valley detector was cleared)
•“
Û
", percentage of the Analog-to-Digital converter’s full-scale digitizing capability.
This data value is only available when the channel’s “
DIAGNOSTICS
->
DISPLAY ADC
”
menu item is set to “ON”.
Pressing and releasing the [VALUE] button cycles though the available sources for
data values for the displayed channel.
3.3.3 [CLEAR] Button
Pressing and releasing the [CLEAR] button will reset the peak and valley values of the
channel being monitored by the display to the track value. Additionally, any limits in
the instrument that are “latched” will be reset.
NOTICE
The [VALUE] button is not used by SC1000 instruments in the RUN mode.
NOTICE
The [CLEAR] button is not used by SC1000 instruments in RUN mode.
