Description of the Instrument
Explanation
A normalization is performed (on the uncoated specimen =
base material).
A calibration is carried out.
The measurement uses the magnetic induction method.
The measurement uses the e dd y curre n t me th od .
Padlock:
Restricted operating mode is enabled, i.e., the keys ZERO and
CAL are not active, the service functions cannot be retrieved.
Arrow circle: “Free-running” display is enabled, measurements
are displayed continuously when the probe is placed on the
specimen
Alternatively:
