GATE LOGIC Setting the gate logic

In this function you can activate the gate and select the criteria for triggering the gate alarm. The following settings are available:

•OFF: The gate is disabled. The gate bar is not displayed.

•POSITIVE: The gate is enabled. When the signal exceeds the threshold that was preset in a-THRESH, the two LEDs will flash alternately.

•NEGATIVE: The gate is enabled. When the signal falls below the threshold that was preset in a- THRESH, the two LEDs will flash alternately.

•MEASURE: The gate is enabled. However, there is no alarm with threshold violation.

HNote:

You can select either POSITIVE, NEGATIVE or MEA- SURE for digital thickness measurements.

AAttention:

Both gates only evaluate within the visible part of the display range. If there are gates or parts of gates out- side the visible part of the display range, then a gate evaluation will not be made there.

Operation:

–Highlight the center function group in the left function table with I.

–With M select the required gate setting.
