VIEWING RESULTS
The DF II Series displays results in the following
formats:
n Active Measured Result
n Saved Measured Result(s)
n Pass - Fail Result
n Load Limt Result
n Load Average Result
n Break Detect Result (DFS II Series only)
VIEWING ACTIVE RESULT
The DF II Series gauge will display the result in
Normal, Tension Peak (T-PK) or Compression
Peak (C-PK) modes.
The DF II Series gauge will display the measured
result, mode, units of measure, active options and
battery life.
Displaying Normal Mode Result
When the DF II Series gauge is in Normal mode,
the gauge will indicate the measured result, units,
active options, Tpk, Cpk and battery life. Select
the F1 (Mode) key to set the gauge in Normal
mode.
When in Normal mode, the gauge will display the
load that is currently being applied to the load sen-
sor. A compressive load is indicated as a “positive”
result. A tensile load is indicated as a “negative”
(-) result. The load bar graph will also indicate the
load and direction of load that is applied to the sen-
sor relative to the sensor’s capacity. The loadcell
bar graph is intended to assist you in preventing
overloads.Ifthebargraphisnearlylledandis
red, you should stop applying a load to the sensor.
See Load Bar Graph.
Displaying Peak Mode Result
If you want your DF II Series gauge to display the
peak result, you should change the gauge to either
Tension Peak (T-PK) or Compression Peak (C-PK)
depending on the direction you are testing. Peak
results will also show in the standard mode screen.
NOTE: If you perform a test in NORMAL mode and you want to view what the peak measure
-
ment was they are displayed above and below the current active reading. You may also select
the Mode key and the gauge will display the peak result even if the test was performed in
NORMAL mode.
