    CLEAR, STORE and SEND functions can be set up for automatic or manual operation. The SURETEST stores and recalls up to 3000 torque readings and does statistical analysis on them for downloading to printer or computer. The statistical report (print out) includes a simple histogram for process monitoring.
  • Page 9 INTRODUCTION CHAPTER 1 The SURETEST operates directly from any AC power line between 100 VAC to 230 VAC, 50–60 Hz without the need for switch selection. A hard-wired lithium battery keeps the internal memory and date-time clock operating for up to 10 years. The real time clock is fully year 2000 compliant.
