1. General Description The “P” option of the 3700 Series Meter is an added function card which provides the ability of the meter to capture and hold + Peak, -Peak, Max-Min or TIR value that originates from the base 3700 instrument. Any 3700 (except Horsepower 3741) can accomidate the "P"...
DIP Switch Configuration Located on the rear panel above the main board connections, the 7 position dip switch configures the PEAK functions of the meter. The Default position of the switch is in the UP (ON) position as noted in the table below.

+ PEAK Mode - captures and holds the most positive signal amplitude of the measurement within the positive quadrant of the signal. Switch 2 UP - Switch 3 UP Fig 3 - PEAK Mode - captures and holds the most negative signal amplitude of the measurement within the negative quadrant of the signal.
Page 31
MAX + MIN Mode - captures and holds the most positive signal and the most negative signal amplitude in the positive and negative quadrants of the measurement resulting in an absolute analog output signal. Switch 2 UP - Switch 3 DOWN Fig 5 Note: When in Max-Min mode the analog signal may overrange due to the summing of the + Peak and - Peak captured signal.
Page 32
Threshold Level Adjust and Have Peak Detection (Backout) Switch 6 - PEAK THRESHOLD DISPLAY ADJUST on the rear panel dip switch: When in the DOWN position, will switch the front panel display to provide level adjustment of the Threshold Potentiometer to provide a "No Peak Zone" around the Zero level. This adjustment is used to eliminate false Peak Captures around the zero measurement level as shown in the gray area of the Fig.
Page 33
Quick Set-up operation 1. Determine the Peak Mode required Configure switch settings 2 and 3 for the proper function. 2. Select FAST or SELECT signal source Configure switch 1 - FAST will be the highest dynamic capture. SELECT will reflect the low pass filter selection on the main 3700 Analog Controls. 3.

Peak Capture Response The Peak Capture of the analog signal is performed using “capacitive” memory. This technique is very repeatable and does not involve digital sampling errors. It does, however result in a millivolt/second “leak rate” after the initial “capture” which varies depending on the Peak Capture cycle rate, amplitude of the analog signal and the wave shape of the signal being monitored.
