Additional Special Features model ETX

2 interfaces: 1. USB interface for connecting to a PC
2. analog interface (0 - 2 V) for connecting to a line recorder optional available
Memory of max. 4000 displayed tension values split up to 255 series of measurements and statistics (Last, AVG, MIN and MAX of displayed values, MIN-PEAK and MAX-PEAK are values measured within a measuring frequency of 1 kHz)

4 different memory modes can be selected by the operator:
- Mode S: only statistical values per series are displayed
- Mode L: statistics plus 10 displayed values of each series of measurement
- Mode C: statistics plus 4000 displayed values arbitrary splited up to 255 series
- Mode F: as C plus higher sampling rate of 100 Hz = values/s

Model ETX can be connected to a PC with the USB cable.
(max. 100 values/s can be transfered, depending on tension range).
With the programm SW-TI2 »Tension Inspect 2« readings can be
displayed, statistically analyzed and saved. For more information
