If an unexpectedly low measured value is displayed, the probe may be positioned near or above a keying shim. This measured value is then incorrect. The new measuring point should be repeated at least 0.5m away from the keying shim. © ElektroPhysik StratoTest 4500 C 25 of 52... -
Page 26: Data Management
10.1.1 General StratoTest 4500 C is equipped with unique data processing capabilities. StratoTest 4500 C stores measured values, calibration, statistics and setting parameters as a related data set in measurement series, i.e. in each measurement series, in addition to the measured values, calibration, parameters and statistics related to the measurement series are permanently assigned to this series. -
Page 27: Color Hi-Limit" - Color Setting Of The Display Illumination When The Limit Value Is Exceeded
Two different statistical evaluations are available: Single value statistics and block value statistics (DIN 50982). In the Zone-Section structure (see section 5.2), the StratoTest 4500 C version calculates the respective statistical values from max. 9801 stored measurement series. The number of stored measurement values in a measurement series depends only on the size of the internal memory. -
