coatmaster Flex
8.4.8. Calibration Report
The calibration report provides an evaluation of the calibration performed.
You will see the following values in the advanced report (see Figure 44: Advanced Calibration Report)
•
Mean Deviation ((MD) of coatmaster® Flex from the reference value):
The value should be less than 10%.
The lower the value, the more accurate your measurement.
If the value is greater than 10%, check the reference value.
•
SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio):
The SNR value should be greater than 100.
The higher the value, the less sensitive to perturbations your measurements will be.
If the value is less than 100, move the measuring device closer to the surface and increase the
light energy, if necessary.
•
Signal Fit (SF):
The signal fit value should be greater than 90%.
If the value is less than 90%, clean the optics with clean, dry, lint-free paper cloths and repeat
the calibration procedure.
If the signal adjustment is still below 90%, please contact our Technical Support hotline (contact
details on page 2).
•
Measurement duration:
Depending on the to be measured coating thickness.
When changing in the Materials Properties (see Figure 43: Material Properties) the Thickness
Range regarding the expected dry film coating thickness the duration of the measuring time will
be calculated.
The higher the Thickness Range Is the higher will be the Measurement duration.
•
Flash energy:
Depending on the to be measured color of the coating material.
When changing in the Materials Properties (see Figure 43: Material Properties) the Colour
regarding the applied color of the coating material the Flash energy will be adjusted.
White uses a high Flash energy and Non-White uses a low Flash energy.
The above values will be calculated and checked automatically by the coatmaster® Flex software
after ’Calibrate’ has been activated in the calibration menu.
