Digital Gauge Frequently Asked Questions

The procedure for measurement generally goes as follows.

(1) Connect to peripheral devices.

 

• Hold of measurement values

You can hold the measurement values displayed on the front panel and the BCD output. There are two methods for holding.

• Short-circuit the HOLD input terminal (No.20) and the COM terminal (No.22) on the back panel.
• Input a low-level voltage signal from the hold input (pin 31) of the BCD OUT connector on the back panel.

 

Pass/Fail Judgment / Suspension of Pass/Fail Judgment Output

By inputting the compare gate signal in the following manner, the pass/fail judgment will be forcibly suspended, and all pass/fail output will be turned off.

• Short-circuit the COMPARATOR GATE input terminal (No. 8) and the COM terminal (No. 9) on the back panel.
• Input a low-level voltage from the comparator gate input (pin 34) of the BCD OUT connector on the back panel.

 

Release of error message

If a miscount occurs in the counting circuit of this device, the display section on the front panel will blink, and the error output (pin 30) of the BCD OUT connector will turn ON. The error state can be cleared using the following zero reset method. Please refer to DG4240 Troubleshooting.

• Press the RESET switch on the front panel.
• Short-circuit the RESET input terminal (No. 21) and the COM terminal (No. 22) on the back panel.
• Input a low-level voltage signal from the reset input (pin 32) of the BCD OUT connector on the back panel.
