Ratio
A
FolRatio (gear ratio) longer than eight characters may require
scrolling with the and keys. The ratios are numeric values that
increment or decrement by 1 each time the , or , key is pressed.
The method of display is dependent on the length of the ratios:
● If the ratio is eight characters or less, it is displayed in full.
For example, a Master to Follower ratio of one-thousand to nine-
hundred is displayed as
1000:900.
● If the ratio requires more than eight characters the ratio is
displayed in two parts: a Master Ratio and a Follower Ratio. The
position of the colon (:) after or before each numeric value
indicates Master or Follower for these larger ratios. The and
keys toggle between the Master Ratio and the Follower Ratio.
For example: A Master to Follower ratio on 1001:1000 is
displayed in two separate displays. The Master Ratio is displayed
as
1001: and pressing displays the Follower Ratio :1000.
