Verification
Verification is an accuracy check performed by the
user using known reference standards. A successful
verification requires the Gage to read within the
combined accuracy of the Gage and the reference
standards.
Adjustment
Adjustment, or Calibration Adjustment is the act of
aligning the Gage's thickness readings to match that
of a known sample in order to improve the
effectiveness of the Gage on a specific surface or in
a specific portion of its measurement range. 1-point
or 2-point calibration adjustments are possible.
the symbol disappears whenever a
calibration adjustment is made to the gage.
The PosiTector 6000 is factory calibrated and
performs an automatic self-check each time it takes
a measurement. For many applications no further
adjustment is necessary after a
Reset (pg.11). Just
check
Zero on the uncoated substrate, then
measure.
But sometimes Gage readings can be influenced by
changes in substrate shape, composition, surface
roughness or by measuring in a different location on
the part. That is why Calibration Adjustments are
made possible.
1- or 2-point Calibration Adjustments may be
performed if readings are not falling within the
expected range of thickness for the application being
measured.
Where a calibration adjustment method has not
been specified, use a 1-point method first. If meas-
uring the included shims reveals inaccuracies, use
the 2-point method. Factory Calibration settings
can be restored at any time by performing a
Reset
(pg.11). The symbol appears on the display
whenever factory calibration settings are in use.
