Advanced Measurement Functions.
Load Averaging Load Comparison Two methods of load averaging are standard with your DFS. Load averaging is useful to determining load characteristics of long test periods or for samples with characteristically noisy load readings. Load comparisons of up to two sets of 5 results may be measured using the DFS. The gauge will measure and store up to 5 results for each of two tests (10 results). The gauge will then display the fi rst set of results with the second set of results and calculate statistical relationships such as % difference, COV, variance and standard deviation. This feature is ideal for functional capacity testing. Load Method This method allows you to defi ne a load threshold. The gauge will begin taking readings once the load threshold has been reached and will continue to take and average readings until the measured load falls below the threshold value.

You may fi lter the display and peak readings with the DFS Series. The default display rate is 8Hz, however, this may be lowered to 2 Hz to accomodate noisy signals.The peak sample rate may be specifi ed as 5000Hz, 200Hz or 8Hz to suit specifi c application needs. A simple menu structure is used to specify fi lter rates.

The Time method allows you to establish your load averaging based on a load threshold and time duration. The load threshold determines the start of the aver- aging, while the time duration defi nes the length of the test period. The gauge will begin taking readings when the threshold is reached and will continue to take and average readings until the time duration has expired. Xmit-WClearMore
Automate with Nexygen Software Your DFS can make use of our Nexygen software for gauge applications. With Nexygen software, you can perform tests and graph results automatically using a personal computer. Load results may be shown graphically versus time. Tabular results are displayed and can be used to create relationships, queries or used to produce reports. You can format the display to match your requirements and establish pre- and post-test questions that require the operator to answer questions based on the test setup. Setup is easy too. Menus, radio buttons and prompts guide you through instrument and test setup. Since Nexygen software is OLE2 compatible, information can be exchanged transparently with Microsoft Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint and Outlook. You won’t fi nd a more comprehensive gauge software package!
