6.2.2 Custom Measurement dialog box
The Custom Measurement Dialog Box
In addition to the Basic Dialog box, ACTA
Quality Control and Advanced Analysis
also feature a Custom Display Dialog Box
as seen above. This dialog box can be
customized to display instant specific
statistical data and you can also add your
own comments.
No Display Description
1 Unit The unit for torque, (engineering unit).
2 Measured parameter 1 Measured torque
3 Measured parameter 2 Measured angle. If no angle signal then this field is empty.
4 Comments Comment to the selected tool. Two rows with a maximum of 20 characters in each.
5 Position of the last torque and
angle measurement
The arrow indicates where the value is located between the min and the max value for
the selected tool. When a value falls outside a max or min limit, the arrow is at the top
or bottom respectively and flashing.
6 Statistical parameter 1 A selectable statistical parameter for parameter 1 (torque).
7 Statistical parameter 2 A selectable statistical parameter for parameter 2 (angle).
8 Sequence number Sequence number, visible if defined.
9 User User, only visible if defined.
Filter frequency Filter frequency, visible for pulse tools only (not visible in this figure).
Number of pulses If a pulse-tool is selected, this field shows the number of pulses for the last tightening
operation. If Hz is displayed after No of pulses, pulse frequencies are displayed. If not a
pulse tool this field is empty. (Not visible in this figure).
