2. The gage will beep twice. The first beep is for pressing the MEAN key
which displays the mean and the second beep indicates the insertion of
the Separator Character. The Separator character is now inserted with
the stored readings.
How to Remove a Separator Character
Separator Characters can only be removed by deleting the statistics. See
Statistics - Clearing the Statistics. Note, that if the Separator Character feature is
disabled, these special characters will be ignored when printing or uploading to a
PC.
How to Disable the Separator Character Feature
1. Press the “٭” key. The display will be cleared and “OP” will appear in the
upper left of the display.
2. Press the “5” “1” keys. The Separator Character Feature is now disabled
and the unit returns to the measurement mode.
Blocks
The 233 can be ordered with the Block feature installed. This allows the labeling
of specific blocks of readings within a memory location. The purpose of the
Block feature is to separate groups of readings to be transmitted as Serial
Output. See Serial Output. With the Block feature installed (it cannot be
disabled), all printing functions are disabled. The Block feature does not affect
the calculation of statistics for the total readings at a memory location. For
multiple blocks at a memory location, statistics are not available for each block.
How to Label Blocks
1. Press the PRINT key. “bL” will show in the upper left of the display.
2. Enter a number between 1 and 255, then press the ENTER key. This
activates the selected block.
3. All subsequent measurements will store readings in the currently active
block. If a block that already contains readings is selected, all subsequent
readings will be appended to the currently stored readings in that block.
How to Transmit Blocks
See Serial Output for output connections. Then follow this procedure.
1. Press DUMP key. “bL” will show in the upper left of the display.
2. Enter the block number using the numerical keys and press the ENTER
key to begin data transfer from the selected block. To transfer all blocks
enter “0” and press the ENTER key.
How to Remove Blocks
1. Press the “٭” key. The display will be cleared and “OP” will appear in the
upper left of the display.
2. Press the CLEAR key. “bL” will appear in the upper left of the display.
3. Enter the block number to be cleared by using the numerical keys and
then press the ENTER key. All readings stored in that block will be
cleared.
