Explanation

Timers

Timer features

•The timer determines the interval used to calculate the report data (the average, minimum, maximum, sum value), etc.

•The timer is also used to set the interval at which the computed values are printed on the chart paper.

Number of Timers

There are two timers: Timer No. 1 and 2.

Timer Type

There are two timer modes, absolute time mode and relative time mode.

•Absolute Time Mode

After the computation is started, the timer times out at the times determined by the reference time (on the hour) and the interval. The reference time is set on the hour (00 to 23).

Example 1: Reference time: 14:00

Interval: 12h

The timeout times are hour 2 and hour 14. Example 2: Reference time: 00:00

Interval: 10min

The timeout times are 0 hour, 0 hour 10 min, 0 hour 20 min, ... 23 hour 40 min, and 23 hour 50 min. For example, if computation is started at 9 hour 36 min, the timeout times are 09 hour 40 min, 09 hour 50 min, 10 hour, and so on.

•Relative Time Mode

The clock is started in sync with the starting of the computation, and the timer times out every specified interval. In this mode, the timer and the clock stop when a power failure occurs.

Example: Interval: 00:15

The timer times out every 15 minutes after the computation is started.
