intermittent sound continues.
* A long intermittent sound will be heard if the LO setting value (- side) is exceeded, and a short one if the HI
setting value (+ side) is exceeded. After that, even if the LO peak value is exceeded, there is still a short
intermittent sound.
* The position of the decimal point varies with each unit and each model.
* For models that increase in digits, the maximum setting value is 9999.
For example: When the unit is N in AD-FG10, the settable maximum value is 99.99(N).
* The setting value returns 0 when the mode is changed.
* Short press the "FUN" switch to confirm the setting. Next is the setting for comparator LO.
* It returns to the beginning when the "DAT" switch is pressed 4 times.
〇PP Mode
・You can change the setting value on the + side (upper section) of comparator.
For example, if you set the point of + side (HI) to 500N and the point of - side (LO) to -100N, and
gradually apply force to the + side from 0N, the display of the upper section will be changed, and
when the force exceeds 500N, a short intermittent sound will be heard.
* The setting value should be entered as the value of + side instead of an absolute value.
* A short intermittent sound will be heard if the HI setting value (+ side) is exceeded, and a long one if the LO
setting value (- side) is exceeded. After that, even if the HI peak value is exceeded, a long
〇TRACK / PEAK Mode
・You can change the HI side setting value of the comparator.
A comparator is a comparison with a set value.
For example, if you set the point of high value (HI) to 500N and the point of low value (LO) to 100 N,
and gradually apply force from 0N, LO will be indicated at first, but the display will disappear when the force
exceeds 100N, and HI will be indicated when the force exceeds 500N.
* When the HI or LO value is set, the external output is also outputted in conjunction with it.
* The setting value should be entered as an absolute value (regardless of whether it is positive or negative).

It is a function to warn the users to avoid accidental damage to the load sensor.
7-6.Set screen update rate UD （Initial value: 20）
・You can set the screen update rate (switching speed).
By decreasing the value, you can check the changing values in more real time.
However, if the update rate is too fast, the values will change quickly and it may be difficult to see.
* Update rate is in seconds. If the display value is 20, the display will be updated every 20 seconds.
* There are 4 types of settings: 20, 10, 5, and 2 seconds.
* Short press the "FUN" switch to confirm the setting. Next is the setting for flipping screen.
For example: When the unit is N in AD-FG10, the settable maximum value is -99.99(N).
* The setting value returns 0 when the mode is changed.
* Short press the "FUN" switch to confirm the setting. Next is the setting for overload.
7-5.Set overload OV (Initial value: 120)
For example, when this gauge is set on a load stand to perform a test, it can display a warning at 80% of full
scale and output a signal to stop the test so that the sensor is not damaged by applying excessive force
accidentally.
* The setting can be set by 10% up to 120%.
* Short press the "FUN" switch to confirm the setting. Next is the setting for screen update rate.
* The setting value should be entered as the value of - side instead of a absolute value.
* A short intermittent sound will be heard if the HI setting value (+ side) is exceeded, and a long one if the LO
setting value (- side) is exceeded. After that, even if the HI peak value is exceeded, there is still a long
intermittent sound.
* A long intermittent sound will be heard if the LO setting value (- side) is exceeded, and a short one if the HI
setting value (+ side) is exceeded. After that, even if the LO peak value is exceeded, there is still a short
intermittent sound.
* The position of the decimal point varies with each unit and each model.
* For models that increase in digits, the maximum setting value is 9999.

*Refer to "7-3. Set comparator HI" for the function description, setting method, and operation method.
〇PP Mode
・You can change the setting value on the - side (lower section) of comparator.
For example, if you set the point of + side (HI) to 500N and the point of - side (LO) to -100N, and
gradually apply force to the - side from 0N, the display of the lower section will be changed, and
when the force exceeds -100N, a short intermittent sound will be heard.
