Series Measurements
1.
Calibrate:
Calibrate the instrument daily before conducting any measurements. Use the
calibration target
(at the back of the angle adaptor) for verification and calibration of the
retroreflectometer. Calibration values can either be typed in by hand or scanned from the
barcode. Follow the instruction on the display.
2.
Users
: Create or select a user who performs the measurement.
3.
Template:
Create or select a template which specifies the data fields to be captured
during an inspection (retroreflection of background and legend colors). Choose between
single
or
multiple
(2-10) shots per element, taking a photo of the object and data fields picked
from predefined fields or typed new. If
single shot
is chosen it will still be possible to enter
data fields but not to activate “Take picture” or automatically note if it is a background or
legend measurement.
Single shot
is made for fast measurements.
4.
Series:
Create or select an existing series based on a template. Your inspections are
automatically stored. Series is where data is stored and organized and the individual
measurements can be confirmed.
5.
Measure:
Conduct the measurements on-site. Press the trigger button to initiate an
inspection.
For multiple shots
the first step will be to confirm the series information (or modify
if required). If “Take picture” has been chosen this will be the next step followed by the
retroreflection measurements. During measurement follow the instruction on the display. For
single shots you will go directly to measure without the option of modifying entered data.
