    WARNING 3.4 Tracking Function The FGV-XY uses a load cell and stain gauge as its force sensor. The sensor is affected by environmental changes, such as temperature and humidity. The Tracking Function , which is active by default, helps to negate the effects of these changes.

The ignored, or MEMORY tared, force is still counted with regards to the gauge’s overload condition. Overload will occur when the force applied to the sensor shaft exceeds the gauge’s rated capacity by 20%.
  • Page 15 The Comparator function allows you to create conditions for Go/No Go testing. A high (HI) and low (LO) force limit may be set so that the FGV-XY’s display will show when a measurement is not within the HI and LO settings. In addition, UNIT the output port will respond relative to the display.
