6.3 Testing
When the instrument is not placed in the
holder
it is automatically ready for testing.
The display shows
TEST
. Please make
sure that the instrument is calibrated (see
6.2). Place the mini
Gloss
Tector
60° on
the working piece flat and stable. It is
important that the aperture is completely
covered by the working piece. Press the
main button
and the instrument will display the result.
6.4 Turn off
The instrument shut downs automatically if it is not used for 2 minutes. To turn if off
manually put the instrument in the
holder
and hold the
main button
pressed for about
2 seconds. Note that if the instrument is not placed in the
holder
it can’t be turned off
manually. Instead it will enter statistics mode if the main button is pressed for 2
seconds.
7 Statistics
To enter the statistics mode press and hold the
main button
for about 2 seconds while
its not placed in the
holder
. The instrument will display
N0
. In statistics mode is possible
to take up to 10 samples and the instrument will show the average and standard
deviation of those data points. Simply place the instrument at the points one wants to
measure and press the
main button
. The gauge will count the measurements [N1, N2,
N3, …, NA (NA = N10)]. To see the statistical values simply wait for about 2 seconds
after taking at least 2 samples. The display will then start showing the average (
AVG
)
switch to the standard deviation (
STDEV
), back to the average and so on. If one takes
11 samples the gauge will start taking new samples from the beginning so taking 11
samples is equivalent to 1 sample (the last one). Press and hold the
main button
for
about 2 seconds to leave statistics mode.
