Stop On Pass; To Average - QuadTech 1865 Instruction Manual

2.6.2.9 Stop on Pass

Accepts entry of a value between 0 and 300 which is the number of consecutive passing
measurements that must occur to exit the measure loop before the measure time has
passed. This is only active when there is a measure time and limit specified. An entry of
0 disables the stop on pass function.

2.6.2.10 # to Average

Accepts entry of a value between 0 and 400 which is the number of measurements to be
averaged and displayed. If the value is 0 or 1 averaging is disabled and the display is
updated with each measurement, if the value is n (between 2 and 400) the average is
displayed after n measurements. If the measure time has not elapsed after the first
averaged display then a running average of measurements is made until the measure time
is up. For example, if n is 5, the first five measurements are made, averaged and then
displayed. The sixth measurement is averaged with the last four and the first ignored,
this continues until the user specified measurement time is complete.
When Stop on Pass is in effect n measurements are made and averaged.
If the Stop on Pass requirement is met the cycle stops with a Pass even though
the measure time has not passed.
If the measure time has passed and the Stop on Pass requirement not met the
cycle stops with a Fail.
If the Stop on Pass requirement is not met and measure time has not passed
additional measurements are made and averaged.
measure time requirement are tested after each measurement until one or the
other results in an exit from the test cycle.
When the instrument is selected for Manual mode of operation the averaging works very
similar. When the [START] button is pressed to exit charge and start measure, n
measurements are averaged. For each consecutive press of the [START] button one more
measurement is made, the last five averaged and result displayed. The [STOP] button
exits measure to discharge as normal.
