What does it mean when the message 'Object detected' is shown during an indent on Struers Test Equipment?
If you see the message 'Object detected' while making an indent on your Struers Test Equipment, it means that the specimen might not be in focus. Ensure the specimen is in focus before starting a measurement. If the error continues, calibrate the indenter length.
What causes the 'Trinamic timeout Timeout Depthmeter Readout LCA Timeout' message on Struers Duramin-40 Test Equipment, and how do I fix it?
The 'Trinamic timeout Timeout Depthmeter Readout LCA Timeout' message can occur if a USB device has been removed. To resolve this, restart the software to reset the USB bus. Alternatively, try using a different USB port or a different USB drive.
Why is the autofocus not working correctly on my Struers Test Equipment?
If the autofocus on your Struers Test Equipment isn't finding the right focus plane, it might be because the autofocus settings use a combination of a high search range and a high search speed. The steps of the autofocus search might be too large to find the actual focus plane. Try lowering both the search range and the search speed in Visual > Autofocus.
How to fix a lagging or freezing overview camera on Struers Duramin-40?
If your overview camera is lagging or freezing, it might be because the settings for active image correction are set too high. To resolve this, go to Visuals -> Contrast while the Overview camera is active and select Default.
Why is the user interface of my Struers Test Equipment shown in Landscape mode?
If the user interface is displayed in Landscape mode instead of Portrait mode, ensure that the monitor is connected according to the markings on the rear of the hardness tester. Then, restart the machine.
What to do if opening the connection to AUX or LCA failed on Struers Test Equipment?
Restart the software. If the error remains, contact Struers Service.
What to do if the touch function stops working on my Struers Duramin-40 Test Equipment screen?
Check that the USB cable between the monitor and the hardness tester is connected correctly. Press and hold the Menu and the Enter buttons on the side of the monitor to enable/disable touch function.
Why does the measurement cursor change from a green crosshair to a red dot on Struers Duramin-40 Test Equipment?
This is a built-in function. Use the mouse scroll wheel click function to toggle between the crosshairs and the red dot.
Why are Vickers or Knoop indents not symmetrical on my Struers Test Equipment?
Make sure your specimen surface is plane. Make an indent on a test block to verify the asymmetrical indent. If the error remains, contact Struers Service.
How to eliminate comet tails or indenter scratches on Struers Test Equipment?
To address comet tails or indenter scratches: 1. Ensure the specimen surface is plane. 2. Clean the indenter. 3. Rotate the indenter 180 degrees to see if the tail follows the indenter orientation. If the error remains, contact Struers Service.
