Cure the powder on both panels. The instrument will power 

off after 5 minutes of inactivity, but the uncured powder 

measurements will be retained.

8.

Measure cured thickness on both panels with a magnetic or 

eddy current coating thickness gage. Record the results.

9.

Select 

2-Pt Adjust

from the gage menu and then select 

the       option.

10.

Adjust the displayed reading for the first (thin) sample lower    

or higher     to match the cured thickness 

values. Select 

OK

to store the adjusted 

measurement value. 

11.

Adjust the displayed reading for the second 

(thick) sample lower      or higher      to match 

the cured thickness values. Select 

OK

to 

store the adjusted measurement value.
