2.3.6.4 SMART mode
The accuracy of the device is influenced by many external factors, which introduce an additional
error in the measurements. Some factors are:
−
trembling hand;
−
displacement of the tested object;
−
probe swing;
−
surface cleanliness;
−
surface roughness.
For UCI probe additionally:
−
the load is too short or too long;
−
probe is pressed too lightly or too hard;
−
low batteries.
SMART mode allows determining the overall sequence of measurements. The first three series of
measurements that do not exceed permissible error are selected. After that, the next measurements,
which exceed the permissible error, will be excluded from the series, and will not be taken into
account when calculating the average value of the measured hardness from this series (Figure 2.23).
Figure 2.23 - Intelligent mode
A hardness value figures with white color mean that the device has a fixed common sequence and
the intelligent mode is active (Figure 2.24).

To set the permissible error for Smart mode, the user should go to the <Settings> menu, set the
permissible error values in percentages from 1 to 10 (Figure 2.25).
