Specifications:

Special features
Upgradeable via enablement of software modules to add multiple traces (torque vs time or 2nd parameter, 2nd parameter vs time), data storage, audit scheduling, and other options. Quick measure enabling measurements to be taken following a simple key press. Auto return to previous used screen following power-on. Text attributes are also possible in Advanced Modules. Upgradeable software

Physical measurements
Bi-directional torque; angle*; pulse count; RPM*; cycle time duration (*when using rotary transducer with angle encoder; in track mode)

Measurement units
Torque: N m, N cm, kg cm, kg m, kN m, Klb ft, N mm, oz in, lb in, lb ft
Force: kg, kkg, lb, klb, N, kN

Measurement modes
Track – real time torque
Peak – capture of highest torque value during the cycle
1st peak (click) – capture of instantaneous torque value as torque limiting wrench mechanism operates
Pulse – special measurement algorithm for use with impulse tools, incorporating pulse count
Force – capture of peak force during the cycle
