Important - Note the speed reading above the prompt line. For accurate balancing
results, it is important to maintain the same speed across all balancing runs.
Bar – When selected, the Polar function button changes to a Bar function button. Push
the Bar function button to view the run data in bar chart format.
From here you have two options to record the measurement; you may use either the
Average function button followed by the Stop function button, or use only the Stop
function button. Each is described below.
Average – If, by observing the continuous measurement result updates, you
determine that measurement conditions are somewhat unstable, you should
press the Average button to average (stabilize) the measurement results. The
measurement will continuously average. The Average function button’s color
changes to blue while averaging is occurring. As averaging occurs, the cursor’s
movements stabilize as a result of the averaging process. When the cursor’s
movements reduce to a near stop or stop, press the Stop button to stop the
averaging process and record the measurement, after which the averaged
measurement results freeze on the display. After averaging is stopped, the
Average button changes to a Table button, which allows you to return to the
Balancing Summary screen (where the saved initial run data appears in the
balancing summary table). The Stop button changes to a Start button,
allowing you to re-start the measurement, if desired.
