SETUPS – CREATE, STORE, EDIT, & RECALL
11.1 Introduction to Setups
Often times, users are faced with a variety of tasks and applications that are
sometimes similar, but often times very different. With a standard thickness gauge,
the user would have to recalibrate for each individual application respectively. With
all the features of the
PVX-B
, the number of potential applications also increases
based on ability alone. This is primarily in reference to the addition of those very
difficult applications, where a standard thickness gauge would not be feasible, or
capable of accomplishing the tasks.
The increased number of features and parameters also adds to the overall setup
time, or amount of time to set up marginal applications with perfection and
understanding. Because of the additional time involved, the
PVX-B
has been
equipped with the ability to save these setups to memory and be recalled at any time.
The
PVX-B
has
18 factory setups
and can store
46 custom
user
defined setups.
These setups can be bi-directionally transferred to and from a PC. Therefore, the
user can save as many setups as necessary for all of the individual applications.
This saves a great deal of time and knowledge for future inspections of the same job
or project. This feature also eliminates error between two or more users during the
setup and calibration process.
11.2 Opening a Setup
The
PVX-B
is loaded with a number of setups from the factory. These setups can be
opened, edited, and saved to any one of
46 setup locations
. The 18 factory setups
are read only and can be opened and modified, but must be save to one of the 46
custom locations. The default factory setups can be reloaded at any time using the
utility software included with the
PVX-B,
should the factory setups become corrupted
in any way. The factory setups are general setups only, but have been optimized for
use with the most common applications. They will serve as an excellent starting
point, requiring only minor adjustments to work for custom material types. The
following procedures outline how to open factory and custom setups:
