PCE Instruments PCE-DFG N-Serie Bedienungsanleitung Seite 41

Select unit of measurement and sampling speed
After successful connection to the PCE-DFG N, you can now set the unit and the sampling speed
for future force measurements.
You can do this via the Settings window for dynamic device data which is shown when you click
on the relevant icon ("Show settings window for dynamic device data") in the „Settings" group.
Note:
This window can only be shown if a connection to the PCE-DFG N is active.
One pressure unit and three force units are available:
"pascal" (pressure unit), "newton", "pounds" and "kilograms".
Depending on the version, the following three picklists will be available:
"Pa", "mN", "mlb", "g"(pascal, millinewton, millipound, gram)
or
"kPa", "N", "lb", "kg"(kilopascal, newton, pound, kilogram)
or
"MPa", "kN", "klb", "t"(megapascal, kilonewton, kilopound, ton)
The picklist for the sampling speed depends on the baud rate: the higher the baud rate selected,
the higher the sampling speed can be.
High sampling speeds are superfluous when the baud rate is too low as the many values
measured cannot be transferred, which has a negative effect on the speed of communication to
the PCE-DFG N.
Note:
If at least one of the two settings has been changed (unit or sampling speed), the setting
of the PCE-DFG N will be changed via the software. This can cause short interruptions
of the communication. However, the communication will recover after a short time.
Make a measurement
When there is an active connection to the PCE-DFG N, a new measurement can be started.
You can make a zero point adjustment by clicking on the relevant icon ("Carry out zero point
adjustment on the PCE-DFG N").
After clicking on the relevant icon ("Start measurement") in the tool bar, a new window will pop
up. In this window, you can set the relevant options for the new measurement.
