3. Programming the column gauge
All programming and settings of the column gauge are done with the 4 keys on the front panel. The user is
taken step by step through the different menus with the help of the lamps and the numeric display. The
programming follows a logic structure and becomes self-explanatory after a short study.
3.1 Key functions
PRG/CAL When this key is pressed the gauge changes from Measuring to Programming mode or
viceversa.
ENTER On Measuring mode this key starts or finishes a dynamic measurement.
In Programming mode this key confirms the programmed values and selections.
Ï When this key is pressed in Measuring mode the measured value on the numeric display
is increased. A short pressure increments by 1. If the key is held down the measured value
is increased rapidly ( manual zero adjustment ).
In Programming mode the key is used to increase a given value or switch to the next
menu or function.
Ð When this key is pressed in Measuring mode the measured value on the numeric display
is reduced. A short pressure decrements by 1. If the key is held down the measured value
is rapidly reduced ( manual zero adjustment ).
In Programming mode the key is used to reduce a given value or to switch to the next
menu or function.
Ï & Ð When the Ï and Ð- keys are pressed simultaneously in Measuring mode either an
automatic zero adjustment or a gauge calibration is done.
If the Ï and Ð keys are pressed simultaneously for more than 3 seconds the internal zero
adjustment offset and calibration value are erased. The numeric display shows the
uncalibrated pressure signal.
3.2 Foot switch functions
1. Start / Stop dynamic measurements
2. Output of measured value at RS232 output
3. Display control : trAnS → transfer of measured value to the display
hold → hold display value
4 Automatic zero adjustment or gauge calibration.
Notice : The functions 2 ... 4 can be switched on and off in the Setup menu.
