INTRODUCTION
The DFC may be used as a classic digital force gage. It may
also be used as a digital controller when connected to the
FMM Digital Force Tester.
The DFC, as a controller, is the only gage available that
lets you setup an automated test, including the operating
parameters of the force tester. Configure speed and
distance limits through the DFC.
