Index mode
Index mode is used to rapidly locate moisture with comparative
measurements, without a direct output of material moisture in %.
The output value (0 through 1000) is an indexed value that increases
as material moisture becomes greater. Measurements made in index
mode are independent of material type and particularly useful with
materials for which no characteristics are stored. When comparative
measurements reveal strongly deviating values, the course of
moisture in the material can be localized quickly.
Index mode can be used in both resistance measurement as
well as in capacitive measurement. See Step 6 and 10 for setting
index mode.

Setting the wet/dry threshold values in index mode
The wet/dry LED indicator is programmed in line with the relevant material characteristics so the LEDs also
provide information about whether the material should be classi ed as dry, moist or wet.
However the values in index mode, which is independent of the material type, are output on a neutral scale
whose value increases as the moisture level rises. The LED indicator can be speci cally programmed for index
mode by de ning the end values for "dry" and "wet". The difference between the value set for "dry" and
that set for "wet" is converted and displayed by the 12 LEDs.
