MIN MEASUREMENTS
The MIN feature on the Magna-Mike 8500 is one of the most
frequently used and important functions. When the MIN Measure
mode is ON a minimum thickness reading appears on the screen in
addition to the active thickness reading. This mode allows the user to
scan a particular area, such as a corner of a container, and record the
minimum reading in a short period of time with very good reliability.
Repeatability and reproducibility are also improved with this feature.
After capturing a minimum value it is easily cleared by pressing the
[SEND], [SAVE], or [MEAS] key, allowing the operator to capture a
new minimum reading.
To Activate the MIN Mode:
1.
Press the [MIN] key on the gage’s keypad. Notice that the word
“MIN” is now highlighted on the screen. By default, the Min
reading will appear on the Secondary (Bottom) Display. The
thickness reading on the Primary (Top) Display operates nor-
mally. The gage compares each new measurement reading to the
value on the Secondary Display, which is where the lesser of
these two values will be held.
2.
Press the [MIN] key again to exit the MIN mode. The gage will
return to the standard Measure mode.
Note:
When MIN mode is NOT ON, only the active thickness
reading appears on the screen.
