It is therefore vital not to switch it with other instruments. If you disconnect the

same channel will be reassigned to it.

Exclusion from automatic detection
It is possible to exclude a channel from automatic instrument detection
when this is moving. This is useful, when for example, the same ins-
trument is allocated to different channels. In this case, when the ins-
trument moves, it is no longer possible to know what channel must be
selected. To avoid this problem it is possible to deactivate automatic
detection on certain channels.

Max : displays the maximum value
Min : displays the minimum value

sed the channel value is temporarily recorded (n
indicates the number of values recorded) and the
delta or mean is calculated as a function of the
recorded values. This allows a delta to be pro-
duced at several points using a single instrument.
Channel calibration at 2 points
It is possible to calibrate the channel at two reference
points. A multiplication factor is then calculated so
allowing the measurement of diameters on V or the
calibration of a channel depending on the reference
block. This multiplication factor can then be activated
or deactivated. This calibration only affects the chan-
nel and not the instrument allocated to the channel.
