For example, the Quality Factor that indicates the gauge is measuring a poor light scattering surface when the Quality Factor is relatively constant but lower then 15. The Gauge will measure accurately under these conditions as long at the QF stays in the yellow and Green areas.
When the Quality Factor is jumping from 0 to 15 or from the red to the green area quickly, this typically indicates that the product is moving in and out of the measuring region of the gauge or there is something interfering with the Laser beams hitting the surface of the material being measured. The gauge can not make measurements if the Laser beam does not have a clear path between the gauge and the surface being measured. This would be indicated by a Quality Factor equal to zero or in the red zone on the bar graph.
Length Mode Display
The Length Mode Screen Has two modes of operation, the Successive Reading mode and Final Length mode. Successive Reading mode allows discrete lengths to be measured and displayed in the form of a Histogram. The software will acquire the final length measured after the length counter has remained at the same length for 4 successive User Update Periods. This
