7.8 Measurements in Standard and Matrix Measuring Mode

The preparations required for making the actual measurement are indepen-

dent of the selected measuring mode and are described in the Chapters

“ 7.1 ‘Preparing for a Measurement’, beginning on Page 80 and

7.3 ‘Making a Measurement’, beginning on Page 85.

Measuring modes can be changed from the service functions only

( 10.6.3 ‘Matrix Mode’, beginning on Page 169).

7.8.1 The Standard Measuring Mode

In the Standard measuring mode, measurements are made on the same

specimen (e.g., on a bolt) in succession and are combined to a block and

evaluated using BLOCK-RES. The resulting block mean value represents the

local -ferrite content of the reference area.

In the standard measuring mode, readings can be stored only in the respec-

tive latest not yet closed block of an Application.

The individual applications may contain different numbers of blocks and

different numbers of readings may be stored in a block. However, if auto-

matic block creation is enabled in an Application, only blocks of the set

block size can be created ( 5.6.3 ‘Automatic Block Size and Block Cre-

ation’, beginning on Page 49 and 7.3.6 ‘Measurements With a Fixed

Block Size’, beginning on Page 91).

The instrument is re-initialized automatically when changing from the stan-

dard to the matrix measuring mode. During a re-initialization, all Applica-

tions and all measurement data stored in them are deleted and all settings

of the service functions are reset to their default settings. After the re-initial-

ization, i.e., also after changing the measuring mode, the required Appli-

cations will need to be set up anew and the desired settings need to be

established again in the service functions!
