Other important features of PAM
5.1 Battery Voltage Warning
The voltage of the internal rechargeable battery used in PAM is monitored continuously
during routine operation. Two warning levels are provided.
If the battery is low but still usable, the dashed line of most menus will include Battery Low.
For example, the first Measure screen will become
Measure Peak Force
----Battery Low-----

At this time, PAM may still be used but the USB lead should be connected to an active PC
or a USB power adapter to charge the battery as soon as possible.
If the battery is so low that PAM cannot operate, then the instrument switches OFF
immediately. Data which has been stored will be retained but PAM may not be used until it
is connected to an active PC or a USB power adapter using the USB lead provided.
Clearly, it is not advisable to allow the battery to drop to this critical level.
5.2 Memory Limit Warning
Each time that the user decides to make a new measurement, PAM checks that sufficient
data memory is available. If the available memory is too low, the request is refused and the
user is advised to transfer the stored data to a PC and/or to erase the existing data stored in
memory. In practice, this critical situation should never arise as the user is given a clear
warning each time a measurement is made if the available space is insufficient for 10 more
measurements.
The PAM memory will store more than 1700 tests.
5.3 Calendar Clock
PAM has an internal calendar clock which maintains real time even while PAM is switched
off. When the supplied PC software is used to transfer data or to monitor the force applied
to the transducer, PAM's internal clock is synchronised automatically to that of the PC.
