Measurement Notes - DeFelsko PosiTector PC Guía Rápida

Amplitude Indicator: Strength of
A high position indicates good probe orientation relative to
perpendicular. The bar will generally reach higher positions when
measuring thin powder and when the probe is at a 90-degree
angle to the powder surface.
Maximum Amplitude Dot: Marks the highest position the
Amplitude Indicator reached during the current measurement
attempt.
Predicted Cured Thickness Result: When a valid measurement
is calculated, the PosiTector body BEEPS twice and the predicted
cured measurement result is displayed on both the PC probe and
PosiTector body. Continuing to hold the probe button will result in
additional samples being collected.
There are 4 types of displayed measurement results:
43 Predicted thickness result.
0 The collected samples have resulted in a good reading,
but the resultant predicted cured thickness is less than the
minimum range.
++ The collected samples have resulted in a good reading,
but the resultant predicted cured thickness is greater than
the maximum range.
--
An indeterminate or invalid reading.
If a thickness result does not appear after 5 seconds, release the
measurement button and try again. Wait 1 to 2 seconds between
readings.
Small, erratically swinging parts may present measurement
challenges. Steady the part whenever possible. If erroneous
readings continually result, change the measurement strategy
by rotating the probe, altering its alignment to the part, or by
measuring a different location on the part.
For best results use Statistics mode (pg 10) to generate averages.
The average of a series of measurements is often a more
meaningful prediction of cured thickness than a single reading.
