10.5 Channel Menu
Each Strain-Gage Input channel is configured and calibrated via
its channel menu. Detailed instructions on operating the instru-
ment in the SETUP Menu mode can be found in “SETUP Menu
mode” on page 7. A diagram of all menus is located in “Setup
Menu Reference” on page 77.
10.5.1 OPERATION Sub-Menu
This menu controls the operation of this channel when the instru-
ment is in the RUN mode.
AUTO-ZERO Menu Item
This enables or disables the channel’s automatic zeroing func-
tion. The auto-zero function can be beneficial by removing the
effect of slight temperature shifts in the transducer’s output. The
two options for this menu item are “ON” and “OFF”.
When enabled, the channel will reset its tracking value to zero
when the tracking value has never been more positive than +10
or more negative than -10 display counts for any 10 second
period.
For example, assume that the DISPLAY.DECPT menu item is set to
000.00 (two decimal points). If the tracking value never leaves the
range of -000.10 to +000.10 for any 10 second period, then track-
ing value will reset to 000.00 automatically.
NOTICE
To compensate for the transducer’s initial warm-up shift, the
auto-zero function operates every 2 seconds during the first
60 seconds of RUN mode operation.
FREQ. RESPONSE Menu Item
This sets the frequency response, step response, and resolution
of the channel according to the table below. The tracking value,
peak/valley detector values and analog output on this channel
are all affected. The default value of 016. HERTZ is suitable for
most applications.

POWER-ON SOURCE Menu Item
This menu selects which value is displayed by the channel when
first entering the RUN mode.
The choices are:
• “TRACK” means the live tracking value of the channel.
• “PEAK” means the highest value of the channel.
• “VALLEY” means the lowest value of the channel.
• “TRACK / PEAK” means the live tracking value and the highest
value of the channel. (Only available on Model SC3004).
• “TRACK / VALLEY” means the live tracking value and the low-
est value of the channel. (Only available on Model SC3004).
• “PEAK / VALLEY” means the highest and lowest values of the
channel. (Only available on Model SC3004).
10.5.2 DISPLAY SETUP Sub-Menu
This menu controls how data values are displayed by the channel
and transmitted via serial communications.
DISPLAY. DIGITS Menu Item
Selects the number of digits displayed by the channel. The
choices are:
• “5 DIGIT-BIPOLAR” displays both positive and negative num-
berswithvefulldigits(±99999).
• “6 DIGIT-UNIPOLAR” displays positive numbers with six full
digits (999999) and negative numbers with five full digits
(-99999).
• “7 DIGIT UNIPOLAR” displays positive number with seven
full digits (9999999) and negative numbers with six digits
(-999999).
This menu item may be automatically updated by a transducer’s
Signature Module.
DISPLAY. DECPT Menu Item
Selects the decimal point location on the channel’s display and
serial communications output. Use the [UP] and [DOWN] buttons
to move the decimal point to the right and left.
This menu item may be automatically updated by a transducer’s
Signature Module.
