11.2.7
Measuring unit: ‘metrical’ - Inch’ (imperial)
The parameter
“Unit” defines the measuring unit system: „metricalh“ (Units „”µm“, “mm“, “cm“), or
“imperial“ (units “mils“, “inch“).
Set to “AUTO µm“ and „AUTO mils“ the gauge will select an appropriate measuring unit depending
of the factor of the coating thickness value displayed and will display this value in floating point
notation.
Set to “FIX µm“, “FIX mm“ and “FIX cm“ or “FIX mils“ and “FIX inch“ the coating thickness
value will be displayed with a fixed decimal point according to the measuring unit.
Note:
The settings of the measuring unit also define the data format during measurement and direct data
output see 11.2.18
„DATA OUTPUT“.
Note that when working with sensors F10, F20, F50, N10, N20 and N100
the setting “FIX µm“ will
not supply any values greater than 9999 µm to display, memory and statistics.
11.2.8 Automatic data transfer in continuous mode
The continuous mode allows to log measuring values manually or automatically to the memory
and hence also to statistics or direct output via an interface (see section 11.2.18):
Set the data transfer in continuous mode to automatic transfer in parameter “AUTO LOGGING”.
If the paramete
r is set to “OFF“, data is only transferred manually either by pressing the “OK” key
or actuating the footswitch (optional accessory).
The settings “1/SEC“, “2/SEC“, “5/SEC“, “10/SEC“ and “20/SEC“ activate and define the transfer
rate to the statistics and data memory to a transfer of 1, 2, 5, 10 or 20 readings per second. The
automatic transfer will be triggered during measurement by pressing the “OK“ key and is
terminated by pressing the “OK” key again. In case a footswitch (optional) is connected, the
transfer of measuring values is active as long as the footswitch is actuated.
It is recommended to start the automatic data transfer after the sensor is positioned on the
measuring object and stopped before the sensor is lifted from its position. This avoids the transfer
of misleading measuring values resulting from positioning and lifting the sensor to the statistics.
Select a low transfer rate for slow movements and a high rate for quick scan movements.
11.2.9 Timestamp
The parameter “TIMESTAMP” activates (ON) or deactivates (OFF) the time and date stamp for
recording of a measuring value. If set to ON each measuring value will be logged to the batch
along with time and date.
For example. 18 Fe 0.7 at 15/05/18 10:36:38
11.2.10 Setting of display colours for measurements
The parameter “COLOR READING” sets the colour of the display illumination for display of
measurement values: NONE deactivates the display illumination, 1 (red), 2 (green), 3 (yellow), 4
(blue), 5 (magenta),
6 (cyan)
,
7 (white).
