1.7  Procedures for a Test Measurement 
 
1.7.1  For Automatic Measurement 
 
(Operator should also refer to following 
sections for setting up new files)
 
Use your Brinell tester to perform a 
test 
and create a test impression. 
When you 
move the BOSS head into 
position over the 
sample, the image of the impression 
should appear on 
the monitor.
 
Center the 
impression near the middle of the image. Click 
on the Red Measure button on the right side of 
the computer screen or click the Red Button 
on the scan head. The eight indicators defining 
the indentation edge will appear. If they are 
correctly placed, accept the reading by clicking 
on the Red button a second time or pressing 
the Accept button on the screen. The reading 
will be displayed with the scale designation on 
the top left corner and, if 
selected, the 
value converted to an 
alternate scale.
 
If 
the automatic positioning of the 
indicators is not accurate the operator 
can click the 
right
 
mouse button (with the 
cursor inside the image area) to clear the
 
measurement indicators and restore a live image, reposition the BOSS head 
and press the measure button again or 
perform a manual measurement. (See below.) Press the Accept button to complete the test.
 
To see the test recent 
measurement results, select the View menu option(s) from the 
main menu bar.
