performing a calibration.
Measurement Options
This option is used to set auto measurement mode and measurement averaging.
Auto Measurements:
When set to On, this option allows the instrument to automatically take a measurement
once all three pressure sensor indicators turn green in the display. No measurement switch press or screen tap
is required. Once a measurement is taken, the instrument must be repositioned in order for another
measurement to occur.
This option is set through the software.
Display LABCH: When set to On, this option displays the LABCH values in the measurement details screen.
To activate, tap the toggle switch. When the switch is in the right position the option is ON and when the switch
is in the left position the option OFF.
Averaging: If available, this option is used to set the number of measurements required for calculating a single
measurement. Measurements are taken at different locations on a sample to achieve average measurement
values. The available settings are No Averaging (default), Average 3, Average 5, and SMC m:n.
SMC m:n (Statistical Measurement Control) is a method of performing a statistical analysis of several
measurements to determine the quality of the measurements and/or the sample, before an average value is
calculated. A statistical analysis of the measurements' mean and standard deviations eliminates outliers and
determines the variability of the measurements. The number of required measurements (1-13) is set along with
the maximum number of measurements (1-32) that can be taken to achieve an average value. This method is
recommended to limit the risks of using an incorrect reading.
To access, tap
Measurement Options and then tap No Average (default), Average 3, Average 5, or SMC m:n.
When selecting SMC n:m, you will also need to set the number of good measurements required and maximum
measurements. Slide the dot icons to the right or left to increase or decrease the measurement numbers.
Wi-Fi
This option is used to activate or deactivate Wi-Fi mode.
To activate, tap Wi-Fi and then tap the toggle switch. When the switch is in the right position the option is ON and
when the switch is in the left position the option OFF.
Once activated, the screen will show all available networks.
