4.2.3.1 Averaging (setting)
Depending on the material it is sometimes useful to determine an arithmetic mean. In
this setting you can choose how many single cycles are needed to determine one value.
Up to 15 single measurements can be gathered to accumulate a measurement value.
(default setting = 1)
4.2.3.2 Set date (set real time clock)
To date the measurements with time stamps a real time clock is included. In the sub
items you can change the year, month, date, day, hour and minute. Press the
<ESCAPE> button to return to the menu item Preferences. At the same time the
changes are accepted.
The coin cell to buffer the clock is independent to the NiMH-accumulator of the device. If
the clock drops the settings, the coin cell is low and has to be changed by the
manufacturer.
An exchange by the customer is forbidden and voids the guaranty!
Also a loss of measurement data indicates an exhausted coin cell. The cell has an
average lifetime of app. 4-5 years.
