  • Page 13: Filter

    • Lower limit means every measured value of the selected parameter (power, velocity, force) which is below a setting percent values of lower limit will be indicated by means of short beep. Setting range:
 Lower Limit range from 0% to Upper Limit. Upper Limit range from 100% to Lower Limit.

  • Page 14: Limit For Partial Average Power And Peak Force

    
 The microcomputer system measures from the lowest position to the top. The Filter does not have any influence on measured range. The Filter just causes to not show measurement results for motions shorter than the setting value of the Filter. Remember: The value of Filter has to be set less than length of the motion.
