- Display automatically rotates in 90° steps (or can be locked in any desired position)
- Built-in Diameter Compensator System is used to adjust calibration curve for highest accuracy. Diameter is set with wheel and shown on display
- Automatic "Zero-Setting" in all measuring positions using built-in gravity sensor
- 4 Seperate Calibration Material memory locations for custom calibrations (can be performed by end-user and saved with alpha-numeric name)
- Storage of Min, Max and Last reading as well as Hi-Peak, Low-Peak, average and standard deviation
- High speed internal data sampling (8 kHz) for capture of accurate Min & Max Peaks
- User-set Min and Max alarms with indication on LCD if reading is out of limits
- User-adjustable DAMPING is used to minimize tension fluctuations
- User-Selectable units of measurement: cN, daN, g, kg, N, lb
- Setup parameters can be password protected so they are not accidentally changed by the user
- Re-chargeable Lithium Polymer battery lasts 40 hours (continuous use, approx)
- Rugged aluminium housing with rubberized handle provides a secure and comfortable grip
- NIST-Traceable Calibration Certification in optionally available
