Functional description
The presentation parameter defines how measurements are presented on the display .
When set to amplif.Vout the value represents the output voltage of the amplifier. When set
to amplifier the value represents the input signal of the amplifier in V/V ( volts-per-volt).
When set to physic.unit, the display shows the physical unit, as chosen in Channel Menu
4: Range with the range of parameter. In that case the presentation can be either with the
sensor-unit, the straingauge-unit or again the amplifier-signal in V/V.
The value disp.time(s) indicates the display update time-interval. Depending on the time
chosen, the instrument calculates the average value of the number of actually measured
values in that time. This average time is only used when the channel value is displayed in a
large font, and by the calculation of the trip values.
The setting of Display will influence the presentation.
Actual the actual value of the selected channel will be presented on the
PICAS display in a large font.
Peak values the low and high peak values of each channel will be presented on the
display.
Sum & Diff the sum and difference value of channel 1&2 and channel 3&4 will be
presented on the display
Bar graph for each channel a ‘bar graph’ is presented on the display. The actual
value is presented as a level in the bar graph. The actual values are
also presented in numbers, if there is room on the display.
When PICAS is in measuring mode, the presentation can be changed with the “enter” key.
