Baseline® Push / Pull Dynamometers
4.3 Menu navigation basics
Most of the dynamometer's various functions and parameters are configured through the main menu. To
access the menu press MENU. Use the UP and DOWN keys to scroll through the items. The current
selection is denoted with clear text over a dark background. Press ENTER to select a menu item, then
use UP and DOWN again to scroll through the sub-menus. Press ENTER again to select the sub-menu
item.
For parameters that may be either selected or deselected, press ENTER to toggle between selecting and
deselecting. An asterisk (*) to the left of the parameter label is used to indicate when the parameter has
been selected.
For parameters requiring the input of a numerical value, use the UP and DOWN keys to increment or
decrement the value. Press and hold either key to auto-increment at a gradually increasing rate. When
the desired value has been reached, press ENTER to save the change and revert back to the sub-menu
item, or press ESCAPE to revert back to the sub-menu item without saving. Press ESCAPE to revert one
step back in the menu hierarchy until back into normal operating mode.
Refer to the following sections for details about setting up particular functions and parameters.

5 OPERATING MODES

Caution!
In any operating mode, if the capacity of the instrument has been exceeded by more than 110%,
the display will show "OVER" to indicate an overload.
Three operating modes are possible. To cycle between the modes, press PEAK while in the home
screen.
5.1 Real time (RT)
The primary reading corresponds to the live measured reading.
5.2 Peak Compression (PC)
The primary reading corresponds to the peak push reading observed. If the actual force decreases from
the peak value, the peak will still be retained in the primary reading area of the display. Pressing ZERO
will reset the value.
5.3 Peak Tension (PT)
Same as Peak Compression, but for pull forces.

6 CHANGING THE UNITS

To change the measuring unit, select Units from the menu. The display appears as follows:
UNITS
* lbF
kgF
N
The dynamometer will always power on with the unit selected.
