Continuous Internal Database Recording

The thickness data are stored in the K-

METRON’s core database. Unless deleted, all

thickness measurements, even over several days, are saved in a single database. This data
can be viewed in the database tab in data and time order. A further feature to filter the
Mould ID is available to allow the user to select only the values of a particular mould.
