3.4.2 Measuring controlled tools with synchronization
When using Synchronize, the ACTA is configured to measure the torque in the same way as the controller.
After each tightening operation, ACTA reads the tightening values directly from the controller and from
the transducer, and stores them in the ACTA’s memory.
1. Connect ACTA and controller. To view tool/Pset in the
Result header, open Conf>Interface>User and
set
Show Pset to On.
Note! Depending on controller, a gender converter can be needed to connect to
the RS 232 connector on ACTA.
