Question 4

Does this device have the ability to collect force vs time data?

Accepted Answer

I use these for visual force reading only but it has rs232 connectivity for PC. Though I have never used it. But since it does not have any menu to change date and time on the force gauge I am assuming there is no RTC so it will be unable to report with time stamped data. But if you can note start and stop time you could interpolate the data in excel. But would be only a crude way. Hope I was helpful.
