Note: One item that cansometimes be a source of confusion is that the sign and engineering
units shown on the display from the last captured peak may not always match the current
settings.
For example, the user may have been recording +/‐Peak in Nm and the last peak
recordedmaybeanegativevalueinNm.Theusermaydecidetochangethemodeto+Peakand
the engineering units to inlb.Upon exiting the menu, the display will show the last acquired
peak,whichwasanegativevalueinNm.Thismayconfusetheuserasthe usermaybeexpecting
