Special features in comparison to standard unit ZTS

In combination with a test stand with linear scale, force-displacement measurements are possible.

Readings can be transferred from the internal memory to an USB flash drive or directly saved on it (sampling rate 100 times/sec)

2 high/low output values can be set; If the reading reaches one of the output values, data will be sent to external devices (e.g. PC, printer) for data recording

Indication of two peak values per measurement.
