To complete this simulation exercise and put your new
expertise to the test, make and store a set of five simulated
measurements by hand-spinning the tachometer's shaft and
using the MEM button. Then , remembering not to press the
Measurement button, press and hold the MEM button as
ma ny times as needed to make the display go into countdown
mode.
Note that because you have stored five measurements, the
display will read " AN 5 " once the countdown reaches zero. If
you release the MEM button and th en press and hold it again,
the display will first read "1" and then the value of the first of
the five measurements you stored. If you release the MEM
button an d then press and hold it again, the display will then
show " 2 ", followed by the value of your second measurement.
Release, press and hold again, and the display will show " 3 ",
followed by the value of your third measurement. By repeating
this sequence, you can retrieve up to 96 measurements in the
order in which they were stored. Once all of the stored
measurements have been displayed, the tachometer will
return to the mode in which pressing the MEM button once,
twice or three times calls up the minimum, maxim um and
last values of the set of measurements you have stored.
With this simulated experience under your belt, you can now
confidently measure the rotational speed of a spinning motor or
generator shaft, or the linear speed of virtually any conveyor
belt.
