SECTION 7 - OUTPUT/HOLD MODE
INTRODUCTION
The Output/Hold Mode of Operation provides the
ability to set the outputs to fixed levels
and/or states, change the output ranges, damp
the output signals, or disable the diagnostic
spike.
OUTPUT/HOLD STATES OF OPERATION
The Output/Hold Mode consists of six states of
operation. Table 7-1 describes the function
of each state of operation.
Table 7-1. Output/Hold States
State Function
HOLD Used to fix output levels and/or
states to values captured when
the hold was initiated or to
manually entered values, or used
to release an existing output
HOLD state.
AO1.RNG Used to change Analog Output One
range.
AO2.RNG Used to change Analog Output Two
range.
DAMPNG Used to reduce fluctuation in
the displayed values and/or
output signals.
SPIKE Used to enable or disable the
spike output function if
configured.
In the Output/Hold Mode, the NEXT Smart Key
sequentially moves the user to all other
Output/Hold States. The cycle repeats until
an Output/Hold State is selected using the
SELECT Smart Key or the escape function is
chosen using the Exit To MEASURE Smart Key.
Use Figure 7-1 to identify Smart Key
assignments and the resulting action.
