Introduction 1.1. General information on the device function The Chronoskop CHR-9 timegrapher is an electronic measuring and testing device for the production, repair and service of mechanical watches. The Timegrapher allows as well an acoustic as a light barrier measurement with an external light barrier. Values such as Rate, Beat Number, Beat Error and the average duration of a half-wave can be determined. With sufficient quality of the acoustic signal, the amplitude of the clock can be measured. In a long-term measurement, the temporal behavior of the rate can be observed on a graph. The measurement results are displayed as graphically and as numerical values on the illuminated touch display. During the measurement, you can switch between different display modes. The target rate can be determined automatically, selected manually or individually set and saved. The acoustic measurement is realized with the built-in or an external piezo microphone. To decouple acoustic noise, the built-in piezo is mounted on a 5 mm thick foam. The signal gain can be adjusted with the rotary knob in the front wall. To measure a watch or a small clock, it is to be placed on the piezo disk of the built-in microphone. Chronoskop CHR-9 Timegrapher User manual www.CHRONOSKOP.com 5 The optical measurement with the light barrier is used to measure pendulum clocks. The multilingual menu navigation in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian and Polish guides you easily and clearly through the functions. The Timegrapher can be calibrated with an optional DCF77 radio receiver. The radio signal of the atomic clock in Mainflingen (DCF77) is used as a reference signal for calibration. This calibration method allows a measurement accuracy of a few seconds per year. In order to ensure the highest stability of the quartz frequency and thus also the measuring accuracy, the built-in quartz oscillator is heated in a quartz oven and kept at a constant temperature. Thanks to the built-in headphone jack, you can directly listen to the clock work. The device also has an external microphone input, an interface for external sensors and active microphones, a microphone sensitivity control, a contrast adjustment knob and a touchpen slot. The measurement results can be sent via a USB interface to a PC, where they can be saved or printed with the software Chronoport 2.0. All data is constantly sent to the computer and displayed there as numerical values and graphics. Direct data transmission allows the entire measurement to be displayed in a movable endless graphic. You can switch the operating language between the languages English, German and Polish. The measured data are stored together with the graphic. An summary of the measurement is printed on a DIN A4 sheet. The software can be installed on the computer, but can also be started from the disk. System requirements: MS Windows from version Windows 98. The software is available as download on our website. Of course the device works also without a PC. The use of the latest microcontroller electronics realized with modern SMD technology allows a compact solution (about 9cm x 9cm x 4cm) that gives
