~ The amount of filtering can be set by menu selection. Default filtering is 4 Minutes.
Chart speed is 1/60 inch per 10 seconds. A time and gravity value is printed at the left of the chart every 15 minutes.
The central dot represents the time mark. Horizontal resolution is 1/2880 of full scale sensitivity.
The 4 min filter comprises the 3x20 sec filter cascaded with one stage of 3 min RC. Therefore there is a 4 minute delay in this data.
The blue traces are confined to two inches on either side of the paper.

Auxiliary Analog Display
Four fields are displayed representing the auxiliary analog inputs in Volts. Full scale at the various scale settings is as follows:
GAIN FULL SCALE
1 10V
2 5V
4 2.5V
8 1.25V
Auxiliary Parallel Display
One field representing a 24 bit word of parallel data is displayed in hexadecimal format. This format permits BCD input data to be read directly.
NOTE: LEADING ZEROS ARE SUPPRESSED.
System Voltage Display
Six fields representing the system power supply voltages in Volts.
