Epson 9840 Benutzerhandbuch

At times you will need to enter numerical data into the Model 9840.  The method is 
consistent in all cases.  A number is presented on the left side of the display with an 
underline cursor. 
 
•  Left  ( “<“ ) moves the cursor left one position.  If you are on the leftmost digit a new 

zero will be added.  Thus 10.000 will become 010.00 where the cursor has moved 
from the tens place to the hundreds place.   

•  Right  ( “>“ ) moves the cursor right one position.  If you are at the far right a new 

decimal will be added if there is room.  Thus 12.34 will become 12.340 where the 
cursor has moved from the tenths to the hundredths place. 

•  Plus ( “+” ) increments the digit above the cursor.  Thus 12.34 becomes 13.34.  Note 

that 9 will “wrap around” to 0. 

•  Minus ( “-” ) decrements the digit above the cursor.  Thus 12.34 becomes 11.34.  

Note that 0 will “wrap around” to 9. 

•  Plus and Minus (both “+” and “-” at the same time).  This will change the sign of the 

number.  Thus 12.34 becomes -12.34.  Note that cursor position does not matter when 
you change the sign. 

•  Enter accepts the currently displayed number. 

•  Esc escapes from numerical entry and discards any changes that have been made. 

When entering cell serial numbers, the option of using numbers and/or letters from A to Z 
is available.  This works in the same way as entering numerical data with the exception 
that no decimal point exists in the display. 

This menu is used to enter numerical constants used by the math options.  These 
constants are listed in a submenu that works exactly like the main setup mode menu.  
Typical items in this submenu are: 

This is the area in square inches that is used to calculate load in pounds per square 
inch (PSI) or Mega Pascals (MPa). 

This is the length in inches that is used to calculate position in percent. 

This menu is used to set up the standard analog output.  Instead of a submenu there is a 
series of selections.  Pressing escape at any time will leave the analog output unchanged 
and return you to the setup mode main menu.  Note that when you change a cell type 
(from load to torque or back again) these settings must be reset for the new cell.  If the 
unit is a 2-channel unit and the Analog Output B option has been enabled, the first option 
asks the user for the Analog Output channel.  Select A or B.  Then begin selecting the 
following settings.
