Scan Mode
The 233 can be configured with the optional Scan Mode feature. Units with this
feature allow for sliding the probe around the surface of a sample to obtain an
average thickness of the coating on the sample. This feature is convenient for
measuring large samples or for samples where the thickness of the coating
varies across the surface. Review the scan time and the print options before
using the Scan Mode to take measurements. Make any desired changes to the
default settings as described below.
How to Set the Scan Time
The default scan time is 5 seconds. To enter a different time, press in sequence
the “٭” “1” “1” keys and then press the ENTER key. “Sc” will show in the upper
left of the display and the present scan time will show in the main display. Using
the numerical keys enter a new value from 1 to 60 and then press the ENTER
key. The new value will be accepted, if it is from 1 through 60, and the gage will
go back to the measure mode. If an out of range value is entered, a long beep
will sound. The gage will revert back to the previous value and remain in the set
time mode until either an acceptable value is entered, or the ENTER key is
pressed.
How to Set the Output Options
When in Scan Mode, information about the measurement can be printed out from
a serial printer, or sent to a PC serial port to be displayed. The print option is
selected by pressing a key sequence that begins with the “٭” key, then the two
digits that determine the option, and then the ENTER key. The table below lists
the available options and the corresponding keystrokes. The default option
setting is Low – High – Mean.
