2 Peaks

The maximum measured compression/tension or clockwise/counter-clockwise

readings. These readings are reset by pressing ZERO or by powering the

indicator off and on.

3 Primary reading

The current displayed load reading. See Operating Modes section for

details. If a sensor is not plugged in, this value will be replaced by a message,

as follows: SENSOR NOT CONNECTED

4 Load bar

Analog indicator to help identify when an overload condition is imminent. The

bar increases either to the right or to the left from the midpoint of the graph.

Increasing to the right indicates compression or clockwise load, increasing to

the left indicates tension or counter-clockwise load. If set points are enabled,

triangular markers are displayed for visual convenience. This indicator reflects

the actual load, which may not correspond to the primary reading (depends

on operating mode). The ZERO key does not reset the load bar. See

Operating Modes section for details.
